Use the communication in the profile

make sure you add in Ford PIDs

Some OLD PCM's have to be flashed before you can pull codes

Our trucks are not standard OBD-II, regardless of the year. If your truck can communicate with any device via the data link port, it's probably been flashed by a dealer sometime in the last 21 years. And if that particular Edge device will communicate with the OBS PSD at all, it should communicate with your '95.

I have not had it drop out on my BlackBerry Priv or DTEK60 but for 40 bucks you can buy a new android tablet that can be dedicated if your phone isn't that powerful.

FYI, the Edge Insight will NOT communicate with the 95. Ask me how I know this. You will need to get the PCM flashed.

Have you been able to use any other device on this truck via the data link port?

That's a generic OBD-II device; they won't communicate with our trucks anyway, regardless of model year or whether they're flashed. If you can get one of the known devices (AeroForce, AutoEnginuity, Snap-On MT2500, etc) to communicate, then that suggests the truck HAS been flashed (if it's ever been to the dealer, it probably has been), and the Edge should work as well.
