Cummins QuickCheck

[DLBurns]

Reading through the December issue of Family Motor Coach and I came across this gizmo in the poducts forum, Cummins QuickCheck SAE J1587. Works in conjunction with a Palm handheld device and gives a wealth of info on the various functions relative to our engines performance. For less than $250. 00 it might be a good stocking stuffer!
Has anyone out there used such a device? If so, what is your opinion of it?
One more stupid question, the info is available for SAEJ1587 engine data with SAEJ1939 data to come? What engine do I have?

The Ram uses the J1939 protocol.

Yes, I second that motion for a group purchase on the Cummins QuickCheck.

Santa is bringing me a Palm V. So, the quick check sounds like a must have.

Here's a link to decribe the "QuickCheck". It pulgs into a Palm Pilot PDA.

brad,

you may wanna check with cummins. i know the hardware is compatible with Palm III's (probably not the IIIc) and VII's, but it may not be compatible with the V. you should check to make sure.
