Hey guys, my friend has a '97 F250, 7.3 and is having problems which look like they are fuel related.
These trucks do not have the OBDII plug but looks like one. I have an Edge CTS engine monitor, so can I connect to the OBDI and read his codes?
Also, he says his fuel pump is a mechanical one in the engine valley. Are they proned to leaking fuel into the valley?

Thanks

I'm not sure about the Edge. The fuel pump is mechanical and when its on its last leg it weeps fuel out a small hole. Most of the leaks are from the small fuel lines down by the fuel pump.

The reason I was asking, I'm thinking about getting one. Do you have the Scan Gauge II ?

The scangauge II doesn't work so great on the OBS you want the areoforce intercepter. You can get it from Clay, Jim, or Joey

You can also use the AE on it. You just have to set it up different than you would for your SD

That will fit in an a-pillar gauge pod won't it? I'm looking at getting a pod and gauges for this latest truck.

I want to get a dp tunner with the gauge selector so im leaning more towards the digital ones. The s p a ones are pricey so it will prob be the pro sports

Sounds like your getting it figured out Gabe. I just added mine one at a time until I had seven in total. Then I got the scan gauge which duplicated a few of them, lol.
