Auto Enginuity or ???
Been holding off for far too long to get a good scanner/tester for my rig. It's time.
Been reading a lot about AE. Who has it and what do you think? General feedback I have read about AE has been positive, very positive.
Question: Is it worth the $359 - $399? Are there other scanner/testers that are comparible and more cost effective?
Just trying to make an educated decision. Thanks for the input.
Cheers!

For what AE is capable of, there is not another that I am aware of that is even close to comparable. I however do not have AE, I am familiar with it but do not own it. Before coming to this forum, I had purchased a SnapOn Solus, which is what I use, however, even the updates alone on it are far more expensive than the price of AE enhanced Ford bundle.

AE is probably the best deal out there. You may be able to pickup a used MAC or Snap-On scanner that is outdated for the same price. I have had mine for several years and it has proved invaluable.
Riffraff Diesel sells it for $359 and has the best support for it, since he uses it too.

With the ford enhanced bundle, am I able to use it to read the generic codes on other OBD2 vehicles? (ie: read codes on a chev truck?)
If I understand it correctly, it is a OBD2 reader, but the ford enhanced bundle gives you more detailed info for fords? And it should be able to read any OBD2 fords?
Thanks

Ive been putting off buying one but now I have 2 7.3's Im also again thinking about getting one.
2 things have stopped me ..............
Im not sure I have enough knowledge of how the 7.3's work to make full use of the scanner?
Kinda like giving a carpenter surgicial tools , am I going to be able to use it?
And the second thing I would have to buy a laptop to hook it to so theres another couple hundred at least.
