Did a little reading at their site looks like a prety decent program, it works with almost any interface if it is rp1210a, any vehicle, engine. Didn't say much about machinary thou.
Might be a nice back-up type diognostic program.

30th September, 2010, 02:02 AM
THATS WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT BUYING IT FOR EXPECIALLY FOR JOHN DEERE AND PACCAR TO WHICH IT SAYS IT WORKS IF YOU GO ON EBAY AND LOOK AT THE WEEKLY AUCTION FOR THE PROGRAM

30th September, 2010, 06:10 AM
The ebay auction is a good deal if you want the sae version. They also have a OEM version that has the manufactorer codes descriptions. Its a very decent program and so cheap that its worth buying to get the updates. There is a link to the site a few posts back.

Works with anything that is J1708, J1939, J2012
It works on Case, John Deere Industrial, Cummins Industrial also

It will work with RP1210b or RP1210a Adapters

Hey, if someone wants to distribute keys for Insite, I wish them luck, Hope they don't get caught. It is too easy to track someone down via IP addresses and logs kept by message forums, all it takes is a company to decide the losses in revenue have exceeded the cost of prosecution.

I offer an alternative and I have even given free keys to some members of DK, I am a mechanic with 28 years in the field and have always been willing to help my colleagues...

I developed PF-Diagnose because A) Software was too expensive, JPro at $1200.00 Crazy.... and B) I saw a need for a general purpose all around useful tool at a reasonable price.

I charge money because the thousands of hours and thousands of dollars I put into this are worth something and hopefully one day I can close my toolbox and after several weeks my hands may even become clean again... No more grease and oil stains

So do keygens hurt Cummins, Not really, they sell engines and if you need Insite it is because you are working on an engine they sold... Do they hurt independant developers? Yes, if sales drop enough because of keygens, it becomes a waste of time and the product line dies. Probably why there are not very many alternatives around.


Anyway, I said my 2 cents worth.

DONL didnt come to this forum and start advertising his product. You may not see it but he has helped many members here. Dont confuse him with the many many members we have floating around who try to sell cracks/keygens 99% of which isn't even their work. You have to remember what we are all doing here.....STEALING. Now most of us have no problem stealing from a multi-million dollar company, but how do you feel about stealing from a fellow mechanc?????????????

No problem, Free trials are serialized and therefore I need a bit of customer info before I send the keys, email the following to ( no addys :rulez: )

Your mailing address including name
IE:

John Doe
123 Long Point Rd.
Miami, FL. xxxxxx
USA


I also need to know what adapter you have because I get people that received the trial and then ask to borrow a datalink because they thought it would work wireless or something... or they have an old adapter from the 90's and it just does not work well with PF-Diagnose.

try it, if you like it, great, if not, no big deal... Didn't cost you anything. In all honesty, if all you ever work on is Caterpillars, CAT ET will be a much better choice for you.

I can say I to had dealings with DonL . I am sure he remembers, I bought my first tough book off him with PF software. Must say very pleasent guy to deal with. Software was great for lot of different trucks.
It's great to have dealer software but a lot of guys here don't PF diagnostics is great if you can't get dealer software . Keep up the good work .

It's great to have dealer software but a lot of guys here don't PF diagnostics is great if you can't get dealer software . Keep up the good work .

Sure do, Hope all is well. May I add that if you have the following:
Cummins Insite
Cat ET
DDDL
Merritor ToolBox
Bendix ACOM
Eaton Service Ranger
International MD or ServiceMaxx
Diamond Logic Builder (DLB)
Freightliner software (can't recall the name)
John Deere SA
Case Software
VCADS
Then you don't need PF-Diagnose. But keep in mind the cost of the above is well over $10,000.00 if you were to buy it. So typically a guy may have say Cummins Insite and CAT ET plus Bendix ACOM on his laptop and he gets an International in that won't start or is hard to start... Cummins Insite won't connect to an IHC 466, If you have JPro, it won't tell you desired ICP and that is where PF-Diagnose comes in. It will connect to almost anything, will display live parameters, Fault Codes, and now you can see Desired ICP at cranking is 750PSI and the highest you get to is 350PSI... Probably blown injector O Rings, now you can perform the rail pressure tests. Quick and easy. Pop an email to PFSupport and say I have a DT 466 with low ICP hard to start, How do I test for blown O-Rings and boom! You get an email back a few hours later with a Step-By-Step

Not everyone has copies of all the OEM stuff for various reasons, PF-Diagnose is quick, easy, inexpensive and great for the side of the road or for Municipalities.

The other thing to consider, many MFG are now asking for ECM Images on warranty claims, If you hooked to a customers truck with your cracked Insite and said this problem may be under warranty, 5 years 500,000 miles so the customer goes to the dealership, they send the image off to RapidServe, the guy at Rapidserve sees that the last 5 times the ECM was accessed it was with Tool ID ACE334EAD23 and that ID is not a registered copy. So they tell the customer, Your engine software has been altered by an unregistered insite user, it is possible that changing parameters such as max RPM could have caused the damage so warranty denied... (They are always looking for excuses)
Now what?

They can not deny warranty because PF-Diagnose was connected as PF-Diagnose can not change max RPM therefore could not have caused the failure, mind you if you erase the faults, that could affect coverage so PF-Diagnose warns you that erasing fault codes could affect warranty.

You are absolutely right that happened to my friend he got a computer off a guy who said he was getting out of the business and to make a long story short they said the programs were not registerd with detroit diesel and cummins and they had to eat the cost of the warranty claims for egr vales that cost about $4000 per truck becasue they back dated the work and charged him for all of them

Audit trails are there for a reason... Make sure that if you do use a cracked copy, the engine is out of warranty :wavey:

Guy's i use pocket fleet on forklift equipment all the time and i have to say its a great little program.

Primarily because its cheap but more importantly for me it's easy to use and covers a multitude of equipment, the after market back up from Don L is second to none too!!
:congrats:

I would highly recommend purchasing a legit copy from Don's website or even try getting a bargain from his eBay auction..

And what about the Mercedes Benz 904 and 906 that came with a little adapter to conect to the ECM? What's the solution for this? It's a special adapter to conect with? For your response thanks in advance!

It works with MaxxForce Yes, Also Yes on Mercedes 900 and 4000 series including 904 and 906. The program works with any RP1210 Adapter or if you want one, we sell them also.

Also, the Next major version will have OBD-II and connect to cars and light trucks as well as Medium and Heavy so it will work on everything from Peterbuilt LongHaul Tractor with 550 HP Cummins to a Ford 4 cyl Car to a CASE Front end loader.

I don't like to put deadlines on, makes me tend to rush and that can lead to more bugs... It will be several months I assume after testing. I connected to a 2002 Ford Sport Trac yesterday and it poped up the VIN Number and started displaying live data right away, I am adding DTC and Freeze Frame support today.

hi
will the new version be able to read obd from the 2010 iveco eurotrackers. also do you know who sells a compatable interface available to the uk.:rock:

The new version will cover the following protocols

J1587, J1708, J1939, J1850, J1850VPW, J1850PWM, ISO9141, ISO15765(OBD-II CAN), and ISO14230

as to Iveco, that will have to be tested before I can say yes.

I have a beta tester in London that is testing on European and UK heavy vehicles. On this side of the pond we are testing GMC, Ford, Hino and other medium OBD-II North American and Asian Imports Medium and Light Duty.

For these vehicles you will need a J2534 Pass-Thru device. For J1708 and J1939 you will need an RP1210 device.

Currently there are two that I am aware of, The Nexiq USB-Link and the Movimento Puma 2

The Puma 2 is available in the UK and I am not sure about the Nexiq, people selling them on eBay will ship to the UK.

I hope this helps.

Please understand, I would love to however the database is 33mb with thousands of phrases and code definitions, as well there are thousands of text lines in the code so it would take an interpreter months to convert everything, he would have to have a mechanic background to understand what the phrases mean so they can be translated correctly, and that is very expensive, thousands of dollars. Then, for support I would need someone that speaks spanish, translator programs are not good for technical issues... If PF-Diagnose becomes very popular, I will look at French, German, Spanish and Italian translations.

One question your program includes steps guide, as the OEM's software, or you we can support with diagrams, with the parameters of the test sensors (such as the MD32, SIS), because as you say in your slogan, "why pay for expensive programs. "
You, as a mechanic, you must know or have developed the ability to diagnose an engine, I mention this because, many mechanisms have the belief that, to know the fault codes (which sends a damaged or failed sensor) and change the sensor, and the problem is solved, in some cases yes, but in others, the root or source that caused the failure, do not know how to diagnose, which makes the difference between a mechanical change parts and a professional technical fault diagnostics .
I am quite interested in your software, for that reason I ask, if in addition to updates, give technical support if you need technical information for fault codes.
Thank you in advance for your attention and your effort to develop a product so useful and easy to work.
My respects, you're an entrepreneur with vision and great human values.

DonL
3rd November, 2011, 02:16 AM
Thank-You, We do not have the step-by-step diagnostics, because PF-Diagnose covers all makes and models, it would take years and be very expensive to add that. Having said that, there are many on-line free resources for troubleshooting a DTC, also, if you have an expired Insite program, you can use the FIS diagnotic trees to get the proceedures even if it is unregistered by going to the FIS folder and open the index. I know what you say, and the opposite is also true, if you have all the manuals, they don't help if you don't have the DTC to look up. I can not supply the FIS trees because that would be against copyright so I would have to either pay for the rights if I can get them or write my own manuals. Either way PF-Diagnose would cost a lot more. Manuals are usually not too expensive, Many fleets get the manuals for free when they buy two or more trucks, all they have to do is make it part of the deal. Then you can look up the code and troubleshooting steps.

hey DONL why don't you share it with everyone this is not a retail site to sell your ware's it's a sharing site and if your a seller you should be booted we don't need sellers here
There are different types of sharing. DonL, the author of the program did not start this thread. He is sharing what the program is capable of doing. Not all things in life are free. Myself and others "Jctech" "ZDS" with manuals, ect. share as much knowledge as we can. Sometimes I purchase programs from on line auctions and share them with less fortunate members. Take a good look at what other members have shared about the program and just take advantage of it or leave it. I think he is awesome for offering an evaluation of the program so you can make a decision if you want to purchase a license.
After thought, Do you really eat the trucks you repair? Just kidding. Dk is a great site to learn and have fun.

DonL
12th July, 2012, 09:26 PM
In case anyone is wondering, I am a mechanic like most of you, I work all day and program at night, I have spent thousands of dollars in licensing fees, software such as Visual Studios, computers and adapters to test the software, for that reason I sell it at a very low cost to recover my expenses and hopefully have a few bucks for a trip one day. Our price is 1/5 compared to my closest competetor, JPro. If the software gets shared freely and I make no sales, I will stop development and another potentially great program will die... Look at it like this... I am not a multi-billion dollar engine company, And neither are you, This software is 100% of my business...

If you would like, I will bring my truck to you, you replace the brakes, shoes and drums and change the oil and filters, Maybe throw on a set of tires, Retreads are fine, I am not greedy, at your expense, all this because you like to share, and I will share with you a copy of the software I have put over 8,000 hours and $18,000 dollars into. Deal?

Thanks, Cheers. I have been on vacation from my day job and have been working 16 hour days on the next major version for the past 2 weeks. I spent $1100.00 on Upgrades to Visual Studios and purchased a couple of GUI Libraries so it is looking good.

Unfortunatly no, We did make one that has to be validataed online every time it was run but people said they don't have internet on the PC they want to test it on or the clock on the laptop is goofie so they wanted a full edition to try....

After seeing how many trials have been hacked we decided not to produce them.

Tell me what make model and year of vehicles you need it for, the make of adapter you have and I will tell you how well it works and provide you with screen shots of it on those if possible.

Pacaar MX, GMC with Duramax both legacy and CAN, Isuzu NPR, CAT from 3126 up to C15, All International engines, International Body Controlers, We have not had a lot of testing done with Mack or Volvo but it seems to be OK there too. We do not have OEM codes for Mack or Volvo.

From your list, PF-Diagnose Full HD with OBD-II has been tested and works on :

Pacaar MX, GMC with Duramax both legacy and CAN, Isuzu NPR, CAT from 3126 up to C15, All International engines, International Body Controlers, We have not had a lot of testing done with Mack or Volvo but it seems to be OK there too. We do not have OEM codes for Mack or Volvo.

Hi Don,

I'm located in Toronto and am very interested in your PF with obd2. I currently have a legal version of Autoenginuity for Ford only and was looking to upgrade or possibly look at a different product. I do have a usblink and a noregon wifi com adapter. I would be very interested in trying out your product, more so for the duramax, dodge and ford that come in to my shop. I have other oem software but nothing for the 3 mentioned above. we do not work on cars (thankfully) I will pm you my email address. let me know if a trial is possible, I presume with a 647 area code you are somewhere in the GTA as well.

Thanks for your time,

Tony

I will reply to your PM. The moderators here jump all over anything that looks like advertizing, funny considering the rest of what is going on... If it is legal, it is not allowed here :) Even though I am a supporting member

Better put my 10c in after reading this 2 year old thread that has not died.

I have purchased PF-diagnose, along with a yearly subscription, and where I can, I send through OEM Code listings that I find, so that they can be added to the database for everyone (who has PFdiagnose) to use, albeit I am very busy running a business myself, so I dont send as much stuff as I should.

Now I have access to complete versions of many HD software applications, but I still subscribe to PF. I have 3 different adaptors, being a BB elec RP1210a adaptor, a DPA4 and a DPA5, so I have many options for connecting. and PF can use them all.

My reasons for keeping PF, and promoting it to others, even if it has fallen on deaf ears, is as follows:

1. When using OEM software, you have, as a general rule, many different windows that have to open, blocking your original view, to see various parts of the system.

2. All OEM software is different in operation, you have to be proficient in many different programs, a training issue that costs employers $$$$.

3. Most OEM software has to log on, download an image (cummins), and then let you in.

4. All this is fixed with PF. Most of the problems I encounter requires me to watch running data. PF allows you to graph any of the data items, it stays on the screen. You can see the gauges and temps in one place, using friendly "eye pleasing" graphics, not numbers floating in a window -ever taken notice of DDDL's monitoring function.

5. I can record data, and play it back.

6. Any many more, however this is starting to sound like an advert

In a nutshell, quick, can see codes and data on many machines, with one lot of staff training.

Some of the more extravagant machines I have plugged into are (and got useful data) are:

Nitro self propelled spray cart, It is a merc engine with JD drivetrain
Case Machinery, most of the modules came up as unknown, but it could see them,

and the last one, was a 2012 MacDon Windrower, with 50 hours on the clock. The dealer, nor the MacDon technician was able to find out what was causing this machine to stop dead at 40km/h whilst working.

Keep in mind that I also plugged into it with the MacDon CANWIN software, and it revealed nothing.

I ran PF on the machine, and recorded the data and flogged the shit out of it. I was not able to get it to shutdown, however, I recorded all its movements with PF. upon going over the recording, I saw that for around 15ms the battery voltage, throttle position and water temp all dropped to 0V. I did not think anything of that initially, but, when recording the machine for 1 1/2 hours during normal operation, it kept doing exactly that, until the voltage dropped out for 50ms, and it stopped dead, almost sending the driver and my laptop through the windscreen.

Short story is, it was salt spray ingressed into the battery master switch, from its trip over here from the US, replaced the switch and all is well, machine has now over 200 hours on it and has not faulted since the 50 hour mark.

Callout fees on a Sunday, hours travelling to the machine, hours at the machine and return trip, Job earnt over $1200. Laptop I've had for years, DPA4, $100 off ebay, and the Initial $300 for PF and its subscription fee for the two years I've had it, seems to me I made $600 on the one Job.

Seems like a pretty fair deal to me. I use it more often than not over the factory OEM software, unless I need to change something.

I hope this post helps others on their decision making process.

I am also looking to diagnose Case equipment with PFD. Has there been any progress with identifying modules? What other HD equipment has this been tested with?

RSwire, did you ever get FL ServiceLink working?

If not, I might be able to assist you. I've been able to get working on both WinXP and Win7.

Let me know if I can help.

Thanks.
