what code reader for '02 7.3 van?

I have a check engine light, need a code reading tool. What type interface does the 2002 E350 with 7.3 diesel use?

And once I have the code, where can I look up what it means?

(maybe this is better in the diesel section, gonna dual-post)

you just need a standard OBD2 code reader, which is used for ALL highway vehicles 96-up. the plug for it will be somewhere under the dashboard, most are fairly obvious.

Once you have the code, just enter it into google "P0300" and it should kick back some results.

You could use the scanguageII to monitor many vital functions and then read codes when they do pop up.

Thanks all, I've got my answers already. Now gotta track down intake sensor issues (P0113).
