automotive code readers
I'd like to get a new code reader. What's the best one to get for the money? I've had the really cheap ones a few years back. Don't want that type again but don't want to mortgage the house for a new one, either. Any experiences/suggestions?? Thanks in advance.

I also have an Actron, but it's now a paperweight because my '04 F150 uses CANBus data linking. Even though it all says "OBD-II", it won't read.
But it did help me clear some codes on my nephew's '98 'Yota while he was travelling through the area, so it occassionally comes in handy (I never get rid of tools or toys!)

If you're scanning EEC-IV only, try to get one of the Ford testers off of E-Bay.
For EEC-V, get something that allows you to scan the manufacturer specific diagnostic codes so you can troubleshoot the ABS and airbag systems as well. As Muffinman proved, you can get such a scanner for a decent price provided you look around.
