We all self-diagnose, sometimes figuring out what ails us—but nothing beats an honest and accurate appraisal from a professional.
But, when it comes to our vehicles, there are diagnostic packages out there, such as the new heavy-duty truck diagnostic package that comes with an HDS 1000 tablet from Bosch Automotive Service Solutions Inc.
The Bosch ESI 3824A Heavy Duty Diagnostic Solution is a real cool tool that enables technicians to efficiently diagnose and repair a wide variety of heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles, as well as a wide range of Off-Highway vehicles such as those for agriculture, construction, and others with the addition of the optional 3824CBL-UPG Off-Highway Upgrade Kit.
The ESI 3824A Heavy Duty Diagnostic Solution includes the HDS 1000 touchscreen tablet, and a 12-month license for heavy-duty truck software usage.
