Has anyone done this????

What are your thoughts about this...?

Should I run the codes when looking at a used truck?

I ask this because it might point to a failing VP before I buy the truck and save me a lot of problems and money....

 

Is the dealer selling the truck?

 

what dealer is it? local to us? i have a smarty and can come by and scan the codes if its local

 

Just to clarify........

I am not speaking of a specific truck. I am just asking a general question.

Would it be O.K. or ethical to run a scanner on a truck that you are (I am ) interested in purchasing, from a dealer or an individual???

I am asking about running the onboard instrument cluster scan or bringing my laptop and scanning the OBDII port.........

Just thought it would let me know of any potential problems...

 

If they/dealer have a problem with it, then go somewhere else pronto.

 

exactly. a guy up here bought a used truck before getting educated checked codes after the fact and the Po216 was present

check for codes for sure

 

and the dealer showed no sympathy after the sale finally offered a pump at discount price

 

Definitely!!!

I take my OBDII scanner with me if I go to look at a used vehicle.

 

Thank you for your support. I just wanted to know if this would be ethical and you have all confirmed this... Thanks. I can now shop for my truck as a better educated consumer.....

 

John i have a scanner here at work that i can borrow if needed.
gonna get some wings tonight? 1/2 price.

 

Only if you will be there.... Remember..My favorite lady was given the AX!!!!!

Thanks for the offer. I will definitely take you up on this.....

Can I bring my laptop by to see if it will scan the diesel??????

I can even give you the software if you want it.......
