I had one for a few years and I liked it. Just plug it in to the OBDII turn the key on and follow what it tells you. IMO 200 is to much

Beware

I bought one from a guy that used it on his 99. Luckily it was locked. However, for some reason, it really screwed with the shift points on my truck. My truck shifted super hard while it was installed. Caused my TC to slip. Ended up having to replace the TC. After the TC replacement, I put it back in, thinking that the TC was slipping anyway and I just didn't notice it. Same thing. Started shifting really hard again. REmoved it and the truck shifted just fine. Tried to sell it, no bites. Ended up giving it away to a buddy of mine that has a 99 Dually. He loves it and it Works perfect in his truck. I personally will never have another one. I will pay for a custom one when I'm ready for it.

Both our '95s have the OBD-II port. Or the 16-pin D-shaped port that resembles an OBD-II, to be exact. Just got an AE, and it talks to one truck, but can't get it to talk to the other yet.

I picked up a 1700 max microtuner a couple of months ago for $100 on CL. It has two tunes off road and tow, and stock. I was really hoping for more, but it should also read codes I haven't had a need for that yet.

I'm still running mine, but will be saving up to get a custom chip. Works well and I'd hate to be without any tunes.......
