I’ve been using Diesel Decoder for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you diagnose issues with heavy vehicles and equipment using the Diesel Laptops Diesel Decoder hardware. Pretty solid if you work on trucks, buses, or construction machinery.
Here’s what you can do with it: you can read diagnostic trouble codes, check live data, and even do stuff like DPF regens. There’s also a feature to generate vehicle health reports, which is pretty cool. And the app is compatible with a wide range of commercial vehicles – takes some tinkering to get it set up, but it’s useful once you figure it out.
Look, if you’re a mechanic or work on diesel equipment, you’ll probably find this app helpful. It’s not perfect – the interface is a bit clunky and the reports can be confusing if you don’t know what you’re looking at. But overall, it does the job and is worth checking out if you need a portable diagnostic tool.
