What kind and where do you find either a hand held or software for a laptop with connectors to have the best kind of diagnosis hardware to carry on board, prepared to repair your Sprinter as needed along the way? I have had my Sprinter in the Dealer here in Grand Rapids for over a month, with no reasonable answer to the question. Chryslers answer is, put an engine in it. Wrong answer, it runs too good. I have decided, if I am able, to locate and purchase the necessary hardware to find and fix the problems as I go. Can you help me find the right stuff?

All but the last one listed are laptop based. So by the time you buy a laptop, there software, learn how to run it etc, you will have 11-1500.00 invested (depends on laptop configuration).
The last item is a hand held unit for approx. $490.00, but you and I will not know if it covers the Sprinter until we try it. Is it worth the gamble?
Also available from China are:

The question is, do you trust the Chinese people? Is this a bastard copy (no updates avail.), or is it a genuine unit? Is it worth the risk?
Sure would like some help here. Thanks, Fordfool
