No according to Ben most of the older ones do that. Ours does the exact samething. We'll see how bad it gets and probably get a new one. Ben said the new ones are much better. They won't fix the old ones he said.

Interesting. I really need to get a CANdi module asap seeing as more and more GMT-900 trucks are coming into my shop... Where did you get yours from Ken? Does it hardly ever work? Or just sometimes? If you want to sell it cheap I might be interested in buying it..

Ben I bought it from a guy who had bought it from Kennedy new, I think I paid 2500 for it back in 2005 and another 600 or so for the candi module when it came out and we needed it for the LBZ's. It works fine on the older trucks that don't need the Candi module and most of the time it works fine too, just sometimes it acts like it has a open in on of the wires, move it around a bit and it works fine. Not for sale Ben, sorry.
They ain't cheap http://www.ntxtools.com/network-tool-warehouse/22401.html
Ben, if you're friendly with a dealer, you may be able to buy one through their parts dept. I bought mine six or so months ago from a local dealer. Dealer cost is like $485 from gmdesolutions, they sold it to me for 20% markup (about $600).
They can also be purchased through OTC dealers such as Napa, but holy crap they rape you! Napa wanted like $1000 for one

I also have a link thru my Gm service info with a number to call for ordering tools at a discount price.

You got a tech 2 for $600, or a candi module?
I take it was a used Tech 2, new they are way more than that. Unless there is a knock off that I'm not familiar with.CANdi... Tech 2 was $1100
$1100 bucks for a used one is a smoking deal unless it's really beat up. I paid $1700 for mine used with case and accessories. Used only a couple times.
Bought it like 5 years ago,still looks brand new

I bought a brand new CANDI Module off E-Bay for $289.00 :thumb:
It was even a Buy-It-Now

Yeah, I thought about that. I looked through fleabay before I went to the dealer... Considering 99% of them are Chineese clone crap, no thanks
. I'd rather pay more for the real deal than some cheap Chineese knock-off. JMO :hug:. If the one you got is genuine, then I'd say you where lucky, but I wouldn't be shocked if it's a clone.Hey Mike, where are those pics?

You know the biggest problem we have had with the shop Tech 2's are wire breaks in the cables, people dont take care of the community stuff. I bought all my stuff about 7-8 years ago and havent had a problem yet (knock on wood). The first thing I did when i got it was picked a direction to coil the cable and then zip tied the end part of it to one of the handles so the cable would'nt flex at the lower plug which is where the most abuse happens, I dont loan it and i treat it like a 3 day old baby every time I use it. Not sold on the MDI yet it needs A LOT of work still we'll see how it is when they get it sorted out, the software sucks azzzzzzzz!

I was thinking about it, but didnt want to be a guinea pig for something from china...glad you got to test it first.
Now Ill buy one from there I think!
I see there trying to push the MDI with a new warrenty. Does the MDI or will it when it work do everything the Tech2 does or will you still need the MDI and the Tech2 and Candi.
