    Well, there most certainly Was a cracked version as of year before last… Guy I kinda knew was doing aftertreatment deletes on the DD Platform engines, OneBox. You’d hear from him on the phone, get a laptop in the mail with all the software needed to get the job done, and that included the DDDL Professional… CAT, Cummins Insite, JPRO and other shit on there. Even the operating system was cracked on the thing, I got to see one of the laptops. Everything was done remotely. Or so I’ve heard… Fucker’s probably still gone, he was pulling time last I heard… Last time I was in a big pickle I did hit The Pirate Bay and a couple other torrent sites, but nothing found for DDDL, nothing I’d consider safe enough to fuck with, anyways. But, I’m beyond the limits of Standard already, so we’re trying to cut a deal on the Professional. In the end dollars are the only way to fix trucks these days. If ever a motherfucker runs for office with the intent of ending this fucking nightmare, I’m hitting the fuckin booth. And I’m a damn apolitical fuckin combat vet. My Dad and some of his farming buddies fought with vigor against those John Deere motherfuckers, so it was nice to see they made a tiny chip in the green armor. But, this shit truly needs to change. Very soon only the massive corporations will have access to the tools necessary to do a mechanic’s job. And that’s fucking shameful to know that I’m pretty fucking castrated at the job I’ve spent my whole life learning and doing. Filthy motherfuckers.

    Right, Detroit injectors have a trim code as well these days. They’ll usually fire without it, but economy is shit. Friend of mind had a situation where a Volvo went into no start due to missing trim codes on an injectors and cups job. What a fuckin mess things are in. It’s been heading this way for a long time. I remember seeing some Liebherr units in the coalfields but never got the opportunity to wrench on any, hate to hear they’re taking the same road. As a non affiliated mechanic, my days may be numbered just like those old coalfields. Sad shit.

    Looking like we’re going to be forced into buying Professional version software from Detroit. I just don’t see any other way.
