Nice, I have the Autel AL619 for OBD/ABS/SRS from Amazon for about $105. Worked fine on my wife's Torrent for ABS issues and for a bad O2 sensor on the Yukon. It even comes with removable SD card for updates.

So I got tired of not being able to access ABS, SRS, Etc. with my regular scanner and I ordered a Tech 2 Clone. $240.05 shipped...what the heck.
Ive been looking at a Tech2 clone for a while, let us know what you think!

Thats a hell of a deal, A Brick with all the Chips?

Thats a crappy deal. Its a essentially a high priced scanner. The tech 2 can do all that it can do PLUS reprogram the PCM, BCM and other cool tricks. Its the same tool the GM Stealership techs use to troubleshoot and program autos that are brought in for service. Need a used PCM or BCM programmed to your auto? Need a custom tune program put on your PCM? The Tech 2 will do it.

We all know what a tech2 is, but unless you have a Global Connect Login you aren't Reflashing shit, basically you have a bcm,abs,pcm scanner with limited editing tools.A wicked old strapon brick with all the Chips was worth like 7500$ back in the day. So picking one up for 1/10 of the base cost is a wicked score. If it is infact a brick, he hasn't commented back, maybe he has a solus pro with a oscilloscope.

You are incorrect. Never heard of TIS2000 and the crack that authorizes it, huh? Dont know where to get the bootleg files on the net either?
