What' the best scan tool ????

Sure! It's a breeze though. Pretty basic compared to what I've seen of AE. But graphs and stuff are alot better than a handheld screen if you dont mind having a laptop in the truck with you. Setting up the dashboard part gave me a little trouble but it connects easy. It shows 3 ECUs on our trucks, just select the one with a bunch of available PIDs. On will have like 2-3, one will have 14-15, and the other has like 27-28. Thet's the one to connect to ($7E8 I think) and away you go.

AE will pull generic OBD-II codes from any vehicle. It would be worth a try to hook it up to the GM. You might not get all the information but you might get what you need. It'd be better to give it a shot before you spent the extra bucks.

Now the PSD are a completely different animal, they run a "hybird OBD-II" type of set-up in that you use J1850 PW. Or at least that's how the 7.3L & 6.0L powered trucks are set-up. Haven't tried it on a 6.4L or 6.7L truck...and I'm pretty sure my local dealership wouldn't appreciate it if I started messing around with one on the lot (sticks in the mud). I've had my AE for over a year and I'm still learning what it can/can't do. If money was no object, I would have gone with the domestic bundle, I think they're $800 at RiffRaff. I just couldn't justify the money just to "talk" to the Honda. I will say this, there is a Honda forum that has been almost as valuable for her ride as FTE has been for Ford at my place.

WOW, the only references I can find to P0133 on a diesel refer to the 2011 Ford 6.7. Apparently that code is used for the NOx sensor on those engines, and a '08 Cummins that threw a P0133 but it was described as a "flood victim". hopefully someone will post up some info on how this code could show up on a 6.0. Maybe a new thread would help.
I'm glad the code was backed up by another tool. i was worrying the ELM was crapping out on ya right off the bat!
