Oh, about CE1, I would read your owner's manual about how it works. If you suspect it is not working right, then the Tech-2 and AllData shop manual will help you fix it.

You'd want a Tech-2 with the 33.004 software and all the accessories which are used to power it up various ways and for self-tests, etc. Make sure it comes with the Candi module which your truck uses.
You do not need anything else to use it for diagnostics on your truck. It does not do programming anymore easily since ACDelco redid their website. For programming modules you need a laptop with an MDI or MDI2 adapter and a subscription to TDS. No need for Tech2Win.
The Tech-2 is a bi-directional scan tool. Regarding the Ebay auction, it shows the case but says not included in the description. Considering inflation, that's not a bad price.like this one?
ebay option
otherwise they seem to be in the 1200+ range. If Im spending that much (1200 plus) wouldn't I be better off getting a bi-directional scan tool and get a sub to TDS?
Thank you! Sorry, First time hearing of this stuff. I'm used to just needing my obd-2 scanner to fix Most problems.The Tech-2 is a bi-directional scan tool. Regarding the Ebay auction, it shows the case but says not included in the description. Considering inflation, that's not a bad price.
Thank you for the clarification! I dont particularly care about reprogramming until its all fixed. The remotes were $20, if I can get everything fixed I can probably find someone that can do the reprogram for me (same with the tire sensors) if its too difficult.www.chinacardiags.com has been used by many buyers here, including myself. The Tech 2 without the case does not have free shipping there, but the one with the case does, for about the same total price.
As @swathdiver noted, all you need to diagnose is the Tech 2 and the current GM software 33.004, which comes with it. You need TDS or a GM account only if you're going to be programming modules. I'm not sure about programming for your year, but the TIS2000 standalone software that runs on a WinXP computer is all I need to program modules on my 2004. All of the calibrations are in TIS2000, although it can be a challenge to get everything talking.
A Navy facility in Panama City, FL. It was for about 5 days over the weekend I believe. They did most of their flying at night.Where at? I went on a ton of trips with those.
Could be, we're just guessing without the Tech-2 which will usually tell you in mere moments what is wrong. It can also program your remotes and initiate the TPMS relearn (with EL-50448) in a short time as well. Don't need to connect to internet or have subscription for either of those tasks.Thank you!

In regards to my wipers/rain sensing. I disconnected the rain sense thing on the windshield. It was still wiping, turned down the radio a little and noticed that whenever it was wiping I could hear the washer fluid motor running. So, not the rain sensor. Im guessing bad control stalk?
