Title: Clamp-On DC Meter
Post by: Already a Rover on February 24, 2021, 02:34 PM
Hi - there was some talk about this before.  It turns out mine is only AC, and I am about to embark on some electrical work - can someone provide a link to the thread??

Thanks.

Jim

I got one earlier this year.  It does make troubleshooting so much nicer.  Want to check glow plugs, no problem, no guessing.  Want to check battery and charging system, easy peasy.

FYI, if you ever feel the need embark on some higher level late model diagnosis an affordable clamp on ammeter is often not accurate enough.

But if you feeling that perverse sort of need you can always slam your testiculs in a door jam. It's just as painful but significantly cheaper.  8)

Hahahah, no-thanks, but I'll take that under advisement.  Always an issue when buying cheep sh*t.

I ordered one, and now just have to wait.

Hi.  I ordered one, but it took two months to arrive.  All-happy now, and ordered another one so I have have one in the truck and one for the Shop.  Thanks, Red!
