Lancaster is on the way to the Alabama Hills. You could be camping in 10 days—

Thank you @Lostchain that certainly was one of my issues. This is still one, too: No blinky J1939 =/ I have some winter prep to do this weekend around the house, hopefully I will finish that all tomorrow. I appreciate all the help, persistence, and advice—

halleluia. Installed twice, then a third time; obvious ineptness. Still no J1939, though J1708 worked: It looks like I have plenty of issues to learn and investigate here. Could the transmission codes be related to installing Eco Hubs recently?

I'll go there again, though I recall that link just downloading. In fact I think it downloaded several times as I didn't think anything was happening and ended up having several copies in my download folder. I do not understand windows, maybe my ineptness—

I did. And the Dana one, too. The Dana software also does not work. I think the first issue is truck side since J1939 does not blink?

1— no oscilloscope; 2— will review schematic and check; 3— I have no idea how to bench flash an ECM; 4— we are working through all the electrical already replaced almost all the relays and battery disconnect, LBCD connections are next, then grounds; 5— buying another laptop is not attractive, or...

Only two choices available. No choice for 101 - DG DPA II/III/III+ - COM 1. Searched dgtech.com for older downloads without success so far. Will check the USB to serial as COM1. Being Linux and fruit, Windows settings is a f$%&@ing nightmare—

Right. Ours not blinking on J1939 is not a good sign. <CRAP!> another issue to address. Now how to determine if it is tool or truck—

Good comments. Power and J channel blinking appear to come from the truck side. When you plug in truck side what indicators do you see on your DPA adaptor?

I wish I had videoed the firmware update, though I watched intently. All the J lights winked and blinked, Mode/DPA Pass blinked, received a successful message in the update software on the laptop. J1939 not blinking feels ominous to me, with my, admittedly, lack of experience using these tools—

Yes. Diagnostic goes red, connection failed. I have tried every option choice presented. Give me a moment and I'll run back out and take photos—

hmmm. Well we connected the DPA III plus using the USB to serial. Computer talks to the Dearborn adaptor and we updated the firmware succesfully. Our M1078A1 talks to J1708 (it blinks red), though apparently not to J1939 or J1850 (no blinking, except while updating the firmware). Neither the...

New toy arrived this morning: most parts look new, last calibration done in 2019. Good thing it is Friday, if UPS brings the serial to USB cable I may need to leave early—

Better to await a replacement? Where this is going a 'Bubba threadlock' could be challenging in the future; replacing inner or outer bearings; repacking inners; replacing CTIS seals, wheel seals. When on the road choices must be made, when at home better to wait?

hmmm. My lock rings match yours and I noticed in the Youtube video they are also heftier. I am no engineer, though the amount of force on the lock rings from properly pre-tensioned bearing nuts should be small. Someone with more expertise will chime in—

My thinking, right or wrong, is while in town anything in the cab is more likely damaged by the sun than stolen. Thieves do not want to climb up and be seen looting, they want to stay hidden in a row of cars. In all my years in the backcountry I have never had items stolen, in a campground...

A few more miles down the road since the switch. Still happy and enjoying a totally new truck. Here is a video cruising down the interstate at 75 with the windows open—

While awaiting the arrival of the diagnostic kit: found another older HP laptop in the closet. This will become a dedicated LMTV laptop, windows 10 installed, no serial port, downloaded suggested software; started reading the ABS manual from the beginning rather than jumping to troubleshooting...

I did not find this helpful. Perhaps I am too slow to understand its use. The troubleshooting section refers to blink codes. Is the dash light supposed to blink? or is that somewhere else? Perhaps I gave up reading through this too soon—

You are not being a jerk. I am in the wilderness here, learning new unfamiliar things; looking for just such a tool. This particular listing hasn't appeared in any of my searches over the past several weeks, though if it had, nothing in my current knowledge base would have given me the...
