I have not tried it (no Android) but have read of people having success on other diesels which support SGII. Apparently the pro version of the app is worth buying and here is a good price on the bluetooth OBDII adapter: OBDII Bluetooth Car Diagnostic Cable - Black + Blue + Orange (DC 12V) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme

I did ask and the reply was it should work on any OBD-II compliant vehicle but it's hard to explain to an "outsider" about our trucks if you know what I mean.

I have had that app for about a year now..Works very good. I have used it on all my vehicles including my 7.3 and is worth it. One thing to note..is you want a phone with a fast processor..my old android use to hang up because it couldn't process the info fast enough. A nice feature about the torque app is if it finds a code..it will go to the internet automatically and tell you what the code is and how to fix it.

Thanks RM! If you don't mind me asking, which bluetooth adapter did you get? I have the Droid Bionic phone.

I'm going to have to look into this...I'm always interested in another way to use my android. RM, have you been able to compare the torque app to AE at all? I don't have AE, but my dad does. I'm thinking this might be a good short term investment for me though...even if all it does is function as a general code reader.

In reading through their forum there are a few 6.0 guys there. Seems Ian, the application's writer and forum administrator, uses a $250 BT adapter (OBDlink MX) and says it's the fastest. The Ford guys seem to like the PLX Kiwi for $88 at Amazon.
Mixed results and slow transmission speeds reported on the cheap adapters.
I'm thinking about the Kiwi for $88, don't really want to spend $250 but don't really want to end up with an inferior one either.
