the best scanner for our trucks is AE it works with your laptop
most store bought obd II scanners dont work on our truck

clay has the best prices around and even better customer service

For the price you can't beat AE and what it does. A must IMO when troubleshooting.


Another choice would be a scangauge.

I have both and you can't go wrong with either one. The AE does more, but the Interceptor is always with you. Decisions, decisions!

Even though it hasn't help me actually fix my truck it has certainly helped me along the way. Now when my truck dosent start or is acting up first thing I go for is my ae. I'd be at a shops mercy without it. Probly so far the best investment I've made with clay so far!!

Not that you need another vote for AE, but it is really the best deal for the money. You can go out and find a used Snap-On MT2500 or similar device, but lately they have been fetching a fair amount of cash on ebay.
