Have you fucked with this yet? I got my OBDLink MX for the truck and I have FORScan downloaded on the Android tablet and my laptop. Just got it installed in the truck so I have yet to connect it via Bluetooth to anything. Maybe tomorrow night I'll dick with it and see what it can do.

I connected it on one of my buses just to see what it was using my phone/laptop, but thats it.

Center Support Bearing arrived in the mail yesterday. My driveline vibes have gotten worse over the last few weeks. Some speeds it feels like I'm driving over moguls and others are smooth as can be. Tires were balanced about 2 weeks ago.
So at this point, I have 3 new u-joints and a center support bearing. I have 2 options: rent whatever tools I don't have and do the swap myself or pay someone else to do it. If I pay someone else, I figure I'll get the driveshaft balanced at the same time. Cheapest quote was for 150 and they are a few days behind, so I'd be without my truck until it was ready. I'm leaning toward doing it myself.
Anyone have a strong opinion one way or the other?

I'm not mechanically inclined enough to offer an opinion, besides check the DS for nicks and scratches. They are paper thin so any sort of rub becomes a rip later in life. Only bringing this up so you don't spend time or money rebuilding the shaft when it's really outlived it's lifetime. Pretty much the same thing Roger said to me when I was rebuilding my OE LCA's....inspect them very well before moving forward with buying parts and putting time into it. Don't want you to polishing a turd.

Ok, I plugged mine in... took my laptop out to the truck. Got it connected via Bluetooth... didn't have the license. My plan was to download and buy one when I connected it. But you had to register on their forum and I am awaiting a mod to approve my account. But it connected... not sure WTF to do next. Probably read up on the "How to" section of it.

I just got a mod to approve my login. But alas I have lost my last "giveafuck" to go do it. Maybe this weekend.

How many miles are on it to roach an A/C clutch like that?

The bus has close to 400k on it (16yrs old), not sure how old that clutch is, but once you start the a/c it never shuts off till the bus does at the end of shift (4am-8pm). This is one of those A&M buses, so the maintenance before was subpar at best.
Hope nobody got hurt when they fell off.
