I've checked them on my 6.0, and the software is for all Fords with an OBD hookup so I don't see why not.

OBD ??

I did puchase a manual yesterday for my truck since Ron told me he does not know too much about my truck. I guess he has turned into such a "diesel head" my gasser is stumping him. I would think diesel and gasser stuff are different, but maybe not? parts is parts??

This is located under the steering wheel to the right

All obdII connectors are the same. If it'll plug into the diesel it'll plug into her 4.6L. I can plug my scanner into the diesel but it just wont communicate with the software. I borrowed Juniors scanner for the time being.

When do you want me to come by Lori...maybe when Ron's there since two heads are better than one?

Steve,

Ron's been at work since 11:00 last night. I expect him home anytime. They don't like to pay double time so he should be on his way.

Warning: he will be sleepy
