    Well we can finally put this one to bed, I went and borrowed a friends solus and did it in about 3 minutes. buzz test failed cylinder 8 and failed a contribution test on the same cylinder. Now for the interesting part OBDLink sent me this when I contacted them, " Hi James. Unfortunately, I...

    I see youre videos, Those are from 2004 and Im trying to find the way it happens on the current app. Mind you I'm typing this on a hand built computer. I'm tech savvy but these interfaces dont make any sense whatsoever. I got used to here are you codes. next menu here are your tests. thats it.

    I got misfires and some other stuff to show up now. However it says o on all 8 while there is clearly a misfire and white smoke pouring from the exhaust. I did not figure out how to get cylinder contribution test though. I think that I may just have a bad injector thats half working.

    Well I got the MX+ in today and it doesn't tell me crap about the truck other than rpm and voltage. I tried obdlink, Forscan and torquepro. No idea why it wont connect I'm about to say f it and throw the 1000 bucks at a solus.

    Ok I followed you link and now i know which one is real and fake i see three levels. Lx mx and mx plus. Will all three work for running tests and live data? What's the reason for getting a mx plus?

    Ok, update time. I found a connector half hanging out of the female end. The gaskets are like new Someone before me did them. I did a voltage drop test and all voltages were equal. Truck ran amazing for about a day until now. WHITE SMOKE everywhere. Feels like a misfire for sure on one cylinder...

    Ok, Ill do that. I just prefer diag stuff with more of a definite reason. The more I look around though the more that sounds like the issue I'm having. I've read that i should see oil coming from the injector while running?

    Sometimes I run and Sometimes I don't.....

    I have not seen anything weird out of the tach. I don't really know if its a bank or random cylinders. However I do know that it runs right randomly so I'm not thinking compression. Sometimes at idle I notice A LOT of white smoke.
