Anyone use this before:

Looking for a way to scan and datalog my 98 Blazer pcm.

I have freescan and cable for my 97 Camaro SS but it will not do the Blazer's 4.3l.

Did it come in? How did it work? I heard it works better with better software.

Just got mine in.

Does not work on my 98 blazer.

Works on my wife's 05 Caddy.

What settings did you use(baud rate)?

I did use automatic and it said no device found.

I think either the PCM is bad or the wires to it. Will start with wires.
