Scan Tool Recomendation
Can anyone recommend a scan tool to read the codes in my 06 F250?

If you have a laptop, the AutoEnginuity is a great product for the price. It really depends on whether you just want to read codes or you want to be able to view live data, perform function tests, calibrate speedos, program PATS...etc

What engine? I don't know if the later engines are supported by OBDII, but I do no the 7.3 was not OBDII compliant, that was part of the original need for a proper tool for me.

The later ones are OBDII and CAN. You will still use the Ford Bundle all the way to present on them.
