If you buy a used one, and it is not the professional version, it is limited to 3 cars and may be at it's limit so make sure you know what is left before buying. GL.

What DFC says is true, but you can always send the unit back to Durametric and have it reset. They offered to do that when I was looking for a car to buy (and I wanted to check them for over-revs).

Does a Durametric have the ability to change functions like the door locking versions? Thanks

I've moved a little south - now in the Poughkeepsie area (but Woodstock sounds cooler). But still 2.5 hours from you.

I think you'll be happy with the Durametric - I've only used mine a handful of times, but found it's well worth the cost!

Are you doing that drive up to the Rhinebeck Aerodrome July 19th?

This is the first I hear of that - can you provide a link to the info page for this event?

EDIT: found this https://rennlist.com/forums/964-foru...july-19-a.html

I dont think I'll be going - a bit of a hike for me and too close to those outlets up there to mention to the wife

Yeah, that's the thread! I've been there before - it's very cool if you're into mechanical things.
