STETHESCOPE COMBO CHASSIS/ENGINE EAR - Steelman

The Steelman 06606 STETHESCOPE COMBO CHASSIS/ENGINE EAR is a comprehensive electronic diagnostic system engineered for professional technicians and mechanics to accurately locate and identify troublesome noises in both engine compartments and under-chassis areas. This robust kit combines the capabilities of both a ChassisEAR and an EngineEAR, allowing for efficient detection of squeaks, rattles, knocks, and vibrations that often elude diagnosis in the service bay. It is an indispensable tool for pinpointing the source of mechanical issues, ultimately saving valuable diagnostic time.

Key Features

• Dual Diagnostic Capability: Integrates the functionality of a multi-channel ChassisEAR for under-vehicle noise detection and an EngineEAR electronic stethoscope for engine bay diagnostics.
• Multi-Channel Chassis Analysis: The ChassisEAR component features six color-coded, super-sensitive microphone clamps with 16-foot wire leads, enabling simultaneous monitoring of up to six different locations during a single road test.
• Precision Engine Diagnostics: The EngineEAR includes an electronic stethoscope with a flexible gooseneck and a non-conductive, solid aluminum probe for direct contact examination of components, preventing damage to sensitive electronics.
• Professional Audio Isolation: Equipped with noise-cancelling over-ear headphones, the system effectively blocks out ambient shop or road noise, allowing technicians to focus on subtle sounds.
• Adjustable Sound Control: The EngineEAR stethoscope features a decibel meter with seven sound level control settings, ranging from 60 dB to 120 dB, for precise amplification of mechanical sounds.
• Durable and Organized: Constructed for professional-grade use and comes with a foam-padded plastic storage case to keep all components organized and protected.

Applications

This versatile diagnostic kit is essential for identifying a wide array of mechanical issues across various vehicle types, including cars, trucks, heavy machinery, and farm equipment. It is particularly effective for:

• Chassis Noise Resolution: Locating squeaks, rattles, and vibrations stemming from suspension components, brakes, axles, differentials, drivetrain, body mounts, and wheel bearings during dynamic testing.
• Engine and Component Diagnosis: Pinpointing noises such as noisy valves and lifters, worn bearings and bushings, broken or worn gear teeth, faulty fuel injectors, and other internal engine sounds.
• Road Test Analysis: Ideal for diagnosing intermittent noises that only manifest under specific driving conditions and cannot be replicated while the vehicle is stationary.
