Chinese Tech 2s Anybody use one? Im going to be doing a trans swap on my truck and will need a tech 2 to reprogram some stuff and I havent had the best of luck finding a place that will do the flashes for me. Besides having it to pull codes, auto bleeds of teh ABS etc, it would be nice to have one. Theres a few on ebay

Just dont want to spend the money if they dont work worth a darn. The seller has good feedback but shitty grammar obviously from being over in Hong Kong.

I think GM is in the process of not using Tech 2's anymore and making it completely computer WiFi dongle processed. I could be wrong but one of my buddy's is service manager at a gmc dealer. He also told me they don't use a tech just a gm Computer and WiFi obd plug.
That might be why there are more and more coming from overseas since gm not buying them.

I have never seen a knock off tech 2 but I heard they were bad news...
Used tech 2's are going for short money.
For what the go thru they hold up extremely well.
My personal tech 2 and candi I purchased thru Vetronics brand new.
I have baught and sold a dozen or so tech 2's on eBay .
At one time I was getting almost 3 k for a good used tech 2 and candi.
The last few I have been lucky to get 1/2 of that due to the knock offs getting more popular .
I heard their is no servicing them if they break.
Their is a guy on eBay that fixes the originals for about $300.
Just my 2 cents..
Also what are you going to try to program?

Some new vehicles the tech 2 won't work on you have to use the mdi and lap top. Gmc terrain equinox regal Cruz are a few that you need the mdi for .
The mdi is also used for programming.
The tech 2 won't be obsolete for a few more years .
I work at the dealer and I use the tech 2 a few times a day and the mdi only a few times a week mostly for programming .

forgive my ignorance but if systems like autoenginuity are readily available for alot less than a tech 2. Then why are tech 2's so highly sought after and desired? What does a tech 2 tool due that AutoEnginuity doesn't do?
