This thread is the one I was thinking of. A little bit of information about torque. Bad12jr got it and posted what he thought about it.

But it will pull codes which for the 40 dollar total price with the adapter I thought was worth it. The fact that it will read icp and dc made it even better. Im thinking of buying a more expensive adapter. Going to talk to the app creator who I found is very helpful with problems while researching. He is on vacation at the moment.
Ill see what I can come up with on contribution and buzz test but I don't think the software has the capability.
Still experimenting with it on a couple sensors. Ill keep you all posted.

The OBD 1 trucks can be flashed to carry the 2 protocol. I'd love to try the WIKI adapter but for a hundred bucks I'd rather save for an AE. The torque is cool and 30 bucks for a code reader is a heck of a deal. Even saved a coworker some money on the chevy gas truck. Had a check engine light and was running rough. Read the code and gave a bad MAF sensor code. New MAF and it runs great.
The developer is awesome and any questions that I have seen asked on his site he has personally answered many of them and is very open to suggestions or adding new info to the app. Worth what i paid for it and still may try the 100 dollar adapter just to see if it works better. Would sure save me a little money vs other options at the moment.

Who would do a reflash to make it OBD2?
And is the OBD1 scanner plug the same as an OBD2?
Will a 96 manual trans computer plug right in and work on a 94.5 manual trans truck? Same plugs?
