Tracer Products TP-9370 Marksman Ultrasonic Diagnostic Tool Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellent for detecting leaks on fuel nozzle, casing piping, fuel nozzle cans and cases on gas turbines; especially on GE 6FA, 7FA and 9FA frame gas turbines. On GE FA(s) you can detect all leaks at LCI crank speed including gas piping/flanges as well air piping/flanges (leaks far too small to feel with your hand or detect with a test rag). For those of you familiar with FA(s), this leak detector is sensitive enough to detect leaks on the PM4 gas header and the PM4 fuel header to fuel nozzle piping/flange at LCI crank speed (no gas in operation and the quad orifice installed on the fuel nozzle). In short, you will not have to start the unit on gas which of course means you want have to heat the unit up to detect leaks on gas or air piping. Which also means you will not have to go through a fired start, a cool down or incur the costs of restart(s) to locate/repair leaks. As a Sr. Corporate Engineer I have purchased these units for each of our sites and as a former GE Gas/Steam Turbine Project Manager/Sr. Field Engineer customers were very happy that I was able to locate and fix all leaks on their unit before a fired start was incurred on Gas Turbines especially on FA(s).
The unit can also detect electrical corona and valve leak-by. With the pod emitter, you can detect pressure vessel/tank leaks before a hydro. Many more uses also. Well worth the money for industrial, automotive and home applications.

This technology was developed in collaboration with Ford Motor Company, GM, and Chrysler to specifically test a vehicle\'s EVAP system and to meet major automakers EVAP testing specifications and needs. The LeakTamer Plus Model is EVAP-approved. Uses Patented UltraTraceUV dye – the only dye approved by OEMs UltraTraceUV dye solution is the only solution approved by GM, Ford, and Chrysler. It will not harm the activated charcoal canister, ORVR valve, purge valve, vent valve, catalytic converters, O2 sensors, seals, or gaskets. UltraTraceUV dye will not void factory warranty. Test with Nitrogen or Shop Air Being able to use nitrogen or shop air when testing the EVAP system allows you to follow automaker test requirements for ALL makes and models. (Most major OEMs require/ recommend the use of nitrogen!) Equipped with Auto-correct EVAP Pressure Test pressure delivered is non-adjustable in order to avoid the risk of pressure damage to the EVAP system. This ensures the right pressure each and every time you test. No Manual Flow Control Valve to Shut Off An electronic safety valve automatically shuts off airflow into the vehicle\'s EVAP system every time the LeakTamer Plus EVAP shuts off. This eliminates the need to remember to turn off a manual flow control valve in order to stop gasoline fumes from continually exiting the EVAP system and filling your work bay. A Truly Versatile Unit for Testing a Wide Range of Systems The OTC LeakTamer Plus EVAP can also locate wind and water leaks, vacuum/induction leaks, climate control vacuum leaks, exhaust leaks, and many other closed system leaks. All testing is performed with the engine off. Inexpensive to operate, the OTC LeakTamer is user-refillable and will complete about 500 tests per smoke solution refill. Also comes with full dye reservoir and built-in dipstick.

AutoXray AX7000 Tech Scan Diagnostic Code Scanner with Live, Record and Playback Sensor Data Capability and SD Card Slot for Upgrades Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)UPDATED:
Below is my unedited original review. Since written, they have released a software update that addresses a lot of the issues I had experienced. There is now most of the GM enhanced data available, but there are still a few glitches here and there. Freeze frame data from GM vehicles does not work. It will provide the correct code on the FF, but the captured data values are non-sensical. The TCC duty cycle % is not right, the PCS solenoid duty cycle % is not right, and a few others. Most of the data is valid, but keep in mind that this appears to still be "beta" class software on the tool.
ORIGINAL:
This unit does not include the GM enhanced data for OBD-II you can only see the generic OBD-II info, which does NOT include the transmission parameters, misfire data, or TCC PWM data.
I have been in contact with their support dept, and was advised to try a different year of vehicle none of which worked. The tech also stated that there would be a software update released in the next few weeks; I do not know that I will wait that long.
The vehicle I am working with is a 1997 Olds Bravada. Not exotic, but simply a gussied up S-10 Blazer. I have ran it as both an S and a T series truck with no luck as the Bravada is not listed specifically. Likewise selecting, as advised by the techs 1996 and 1998, I either get an error with no data, or the same garbage data when 1997 is selected.
If I select the manufacturer specific data, I get info in line with the other reviewer with the 454 in the 99 truck. My cam retard was like 6700 degrees. The ignition voltage is 10.6v when running or not, also stays rock steady at 10.6V even during cranking. Any tech would be able to tell you if voltage @ rest is 10.6, it will drop below 10.6 while cranking. ECT is 103 degrees no matter what. The throttle position is set at 2v or 41.8% no matter what you do. If you select the vehicle as generic OBD-II you get correct voltages, temps and TPS values, but as stated above, you do NOT get transmission or other enhanced info.
Enhanced GM specific info is the reason I bought this tool. At this time it cannot deliver on the advertised promises.
