Q For WinALDL Users

[nvrenuf]

Just curious, what does the software do if you try to use it on a vehicle not covered? Does it give bad data or none at all?

I looked through the site and didn't immediately see my truck listed but I don't have my comp part number and haven't checked the engine digit of my VIN. The description also says the software may cover more applications than those listed.

Never tried it, but it wouldn't hurt to hook it up and see what things look like.

I would say if the rpm, cts, map etc stuff looks right, the rest will be right.

I have a 1991 5.7 and I don't think it was listed explicitely on his website. But it works fine -- I can't remember which winALDL selection I'm using. There are a few sensors listed on the program that I don't have but it shows useful data for all the sensors I do have.

Did you build or buy your cable?

Are you using the version from this site - http://winaldl.joby.se/

I am using that version.


I built my cable. I ran a cable from the OBD connector in the truck under the carpet and but a 5 pin DIN connector in the plastic around the 4 wheel drive selector. Then I made a cable with the serial connector and a DIN connector. It is pretty slick, I don't have to fuss around with a cable in my way all the time. I'll see if I can find my pictures. (btw the Crew cab sold for close to $4,700 with the 10% surcharge and taxes -- I passed http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=504641)
