    If you're speaking of the infamous Bendix 10 ABS system that was used from
    1990-1993, then a scanner
    isn't required to bleed the brakes (but is for diagnostics). I've never had
    to use one to bleed, and the FSM doesn't mention the need for one either.

    OTC did put out an ABS catridge for the 4000E but I have no idea if it
    covered Chrysler ABS.
    Not at all. You need an extension cable. OTC makes one and you can find them
    on Ebay. I don't have the part number
    handy.

    There is no option to bleed the brakes on the DRB but when you go into
    acuate/hydraulic and then open and close the solonoids it makes bleeding the
    system very easy and fast. alot of Techs dont know this because it wasnt
    written in any of the diagnostic books

    You can buy a DRB scan tool from Chrysler. It's listed on the their
    Tech Pubs site. But I don't think you will want one when you see the
    price. It's over $6,000. Take Daniel Stern's advice and use an OTC
    scanner. A OTC2000 or OTC 4000 will do fine for a 93. You can find them
    very reasonable on eBay.

    naw warranty work is not a common thing anymore
    see the thing is, the common person can't work on their own vehicle
    anymore
    for the most part so we are making a ton of money then add to that
    america is generally getting lazier we techs are making more than we
    have before

    No shit? Gee, when did this all start?
    That's very profound Darryl, it's like saying "I'm older then
    I've ever been before."

    Ebay had the complete kit, wires, DRB3 and cards for 2000.00. There are
    lots of the old DRB2 on there also

    That's great if all you're ever likely to work on is ChryCo
    vehicles, the OTC and the Snap-On will work on a variety of
    domestics, Asian imports and European imports not to mention that
    the OTC and S-O often come with troubleshooting software that
    would be a great assistance for the DIYer who doesn't have ready
    access to specifications, sensor values or known insider fixes
    (silver bullets).

    I think once a DIYer invests in such a tool, he'd be anxious to
    amatorize out his investment using on friends and family vehicles
    also.

    The DRB3 is also a generic scan tool which will do all 96 models that are
    OBD2 ready

    actually if you were as smart as you are a smart ass you would know that the
    drb3 works on all vehicles in the us market for pulling emission codes

    Okay, Glen says that the DRBIII will do generic OBD2 on 96 and
    newer, you say that it will work on all vehicles in the U.S.
    market. Which one of you should we believe?

    When you say that it will pull "emissions codes," at best one
    might believe that it will pull generic OBD2 codes which means
    that it lacks manufacturer specific or enhanced code/data stream
    capability which in effect means that in the mode you cite, it's
    1/4 to 1/3 of a scan tool on non ChryCo vehicles.

    When you get the chance, see how well it does on an OBD2 Ford at
    retrieving miss-fire data; current and historical. Since the NGS
    doesn't even do miss-fires and it's the factory tool for Fords,
    the DRB would be one hell of a tool.

    That is not true either pal, it shows sensor values, its used as a dual
    trace lab scope,its a number of things, Hey dont take it so serious, learn
    to enjoy life, dont be an ass hole forever

    Hey Mic, I posted to you on the last one that was directed to your asshole
    fan cuda, Damn eyes dont work the way they used to, But the DRB3 will
    work on any vehicle with the OBD2 connector, you just gotta make sure you
    set it up as a generic scan tool at the start. It does show values sensors
    and code, and can also use the dual trace lab scope with them also

    Since this is a reply to Darryl's post, it would appear that
    you're disagreeing with him, and calling him an asshole.

    "Generic scan tool", same as what an OTC or Snap-On will do, same
    as what a $99 Harbor Freight scan tool will do. He should spend
    six thousand dollars (read: wipe his ass with $100 bills) for
    -what- reason again?
    But not ALL sensor values, and he'd be limited to the generic
    OBD2 stuff, excluding any use on ABS, body computer, transmission
    computer on non ChryCo stuff since none of it is part of the OBD2
    protocol.
    Generic OBD2 codes, no manufacture specific or enhanced codes, no
    ABS codes, not transmission codes on non ChryCo vehicles.
    And Mode 6, is that displayed as hexidecimal? Does he get to
    stay chained to his PC so he can do the conversions, if so, he
    might just as well buy scan tool software for $200-$500.
    WOW, dual trace lab scope. The rest of us have graduated to 4
    trace and 8 trace lab scopes.

    And in the end, the DIYer OP still doesn't receive the benefit of
    Pathfinder or Troubleshooter software.

    Sorry Glen, your recommendations for a phallic extension totally
    miss the mark.

    I work on Chryslers, I just know it will pull codes and certain things, that
    is why it is generic

    Obviously you don't know the definition of "generic" as applied
    to OBD2 diagnostics.
    In this case, it means that the user will get some very basic
    rudimentary information, i.e., a few codes and a few sensors.

    The OP could have so much more in the way of versatility for much
    less money.

    Cost versus benefit, it isn't -that- hard to figure out.

    I did, all I saw was more of your inane ramblings.
    Young love... ...how romantic.

    Honestly you two, we really don't need to know the specifics,
    especially when you name body parts.

    Yes I no that is what that means, If you read I said it reads faults and
    values, I do know it wont do everything because its GENERIC, and I
    understand that for someone who wants to use it for a certain car would be
    better off with an after market tester,I dont work on fords, chevy or
    anything else therefore i dont know what it can do except read values and
    codes. You and a number of your idiot friends such as Daniel Stern try to
    analyze everything and turn it into bullshit debates.....<<you just gotta
    make sure you
    set it up as a generic scan tool at the start. It does show values sensors
    and code, and can also use the dual trace lab scope with them also>>>> In
    this case, it means that the user will get some very basic
