farmer52 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I have a chance to purchase a card for the V-Mac III. The card number is 801111. I saw cards with PN 804011. Which is the correct card or are both the same? Will this card work with all V-Mac III engines (199x-2003)? I don't know what years used the III.

Mackpro Posted Sunday at 07:11 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:11 PM Any ETECH style engine from 1998.5 to 2007 is a VMAC 3 . We used the Pro Link with the VMAC 3 card till about 2000-2001. We then strictly went with the VMAC 3 software on laptops. Come to think of it I don’t think we used the Pro-Link much past 2000. I know there was some bulletins on using the Pro links on the 2003.5 and up ASET engines as the VMAC 3 card we had wouldn’t show some things such as EGR or do some of the parameters programming. They might have came out with a newer updated VMAC 3 card that supported the ASET. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75437-nexiq-card-for-v-mac-iii/#findComment-574126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted Sunday at 07:22 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:22 PM I would love to own a Pro-Link 9000, with V-mac cards... I cut my teeth on those when I started out at the Mack Shop... Of course, i got really good with Premium Tech Tool.. but its not a feasible cost for me at this stage..

Joseph Cummings Posted Sunday at 08:58 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:58 PM When I went to Allentown for training when V-MAC first went into production we used a laptop and the software used DOS commands. I spent a lot on that Bendix monochrome laptop with Windows 3.1 on it. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75437-nexiq-card-for-v-mac-iii/#findComment-574133 Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer52 Posted 18 hours ago Author Share Posted 18 hours ago I learned the 804011 (V6.2) is an updated card compared to the 801111 (V6.10). Will either card work for V-Mac I and II? Has anyone used the Nexiq Pro-Link Graphiq? If so, thoughts compared to the Pro-Link Plus? Again, thanks for your input.

Mackpro Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago We had separate cartridges that slid on the back of our Pro-link for VMAC 1 and VMAC 2 . We then got the cartridge that accepted the small cards like I posted above. We had a VMAC 3 card and I believe a Detroit Diesel card and possibly a Bendix card. Tech Tool will work on VMAC 1,2 and 3 but it’s horrible and slow as molasses. Last I heard the dealerships still use the Pro-link for VMAC 1 and 2. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75437-nexiq-card-for-v-mac-iii/#findComment-574561 Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted 7 hours ago Author Share Posted 7 hours ago Thanks for the input. I decided to dismiss the idea of buying a Pro-link setup. I mainly wanted the system to check and reset the low idle and road speed. The extra diagnostic features are "nice to have". But for the money I will pay Watt's to check/reset the features. Hopefully less than a Pro-link system. I did find a free software program from Diesel Laptops but the cable to connect the vehicle to my computer is over $800. I will pass.
