Looking in to diagnostic program that can do it all our shop has heard about j pro, wondering if anyone has used this and if its worth getting or if there is any other programs out there that are better?

Thanks for any help

What kind of buses do you work on--get oem diagnostic software-with nexiq data connectors-
You will be able to fix and not have to send to the dealer
it may cost less than jpro software combined

I just bought Navistar Engine Diagnostics for 575 from TPX powersource.

Allison Doc use to be free or a one time free, not sure which. Cummins insite ws 361 to renew. These 2 programs are great. You click on the fault code and it goes straight to the troubleshot tree.

Bendix ABS is a free internet download. Bendix Acom. http://www.bendix.com/en/servicessupport/abssoftware/acomdiagnosticsdownload/genericform.jsp?ct=t(ACOM_6_13_Software_Update7_14_2017)&mc_cid=7f66cf2b15&mc_eid=7cc8fd0e53

We use JPro at our work. It's like a very expensive code reader. UI is very nice, but it will only read codes and data. In order to do testing, you must purchase the OEM software and link it with the JPro program. I remember our boss having some trouble doing this part, but he got it working. If your in the program and decide you want to do an injector test, for example, you click on the manufacturer button and it will leave the JPro program and open the OEM software. So since the program itself does not do any testing, this is why I say it's a very expensive code reader.
