Now I’m hearing about NEXIQ communication adapter. Does anyone know about these? Does it require special software?
Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
I have an OTR Performance for DD15, It’s kept me from going to shop a bunch from that MIL light.
and it’s derated a few times, usually plug it in 3-4 seconds and it’ll clear code.
If it needs regen it’ll force one, don’t have to do anything but plug it up.Another Canadian driver, Chuck579 and Oxbow Thank this. -
There are Nexiq knockoffs on eBay that work pretty good for just a few hundred if you don't want to spend 800 dollars.
Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
Does the Nexiq require a separate software for my laptop?Another Canadian driver Thanks this.

That changes things being MX. If Cummins, Insite can be found for nearly nothing. DAVIE is around $1800.00 one time fee. OTR might just be best bang for buck. Paccar used to use the Pac link reader for smart phone, but haven't heard much about it anymore.

The drivers come with it for your operating system. As far as software, I couldn't help you there. I only use ET on my truck.Chuck579 Thanks this.

Well let me ask, what are the capabilities of the Nexiq?
OTR Performance can:
Read codes
Clear codes
Forced regen
Remove 5mph derate
That’s mainly what I’m needing, but if the are more capabilities with the Nexiq I’d be curious. -
Nexiq USB Link can be used with every OEM software to connect to a truck, it is the interface between a PC and the truck.
-
Nexiq is the communication link between your ECM and laptop. There's a learning curve here to using it combined with the software from your engine manufacturer. You should just bite the bullet and pay the 800 of you're looking for something easier to learn or pay shops a minimum of $150 each time you need them to plug in.
Chuck579 and spsauerland Thank this.
