1. Is Cummins Inline same device basically as Nexiq?

I can help with Question #1 any ways,..

For troubleshooting...
Either work equally well. They are BOTH fully RP1210a compliant towards troubleshooting equipment.

For ECM flashing itself...
- Nexiq is more expensive, but will let someone flash CAT, Detroit, Cummins, Etc.etc. ... but the Cummins adapters will generally only flash cummins engines.

Price...
- Cummins adapters ... including the chineesuim fakes work great. They can be had off the webs for less than $200 bucks these days.

- Nexiq however are far more expensive, and the chineesium fakes that are sold all over the interwebs will not live very long, are flaky, etc. .. so if someone wants Nexiq, then they need to seek out a local dealers%it like fleet-pride, etc... and buy a genuine Nexiq only.

IE.> If all you got is vehicles with cummins engines in them, then the much cheaper Inline adapter is just fine.
