I think all 1996 F-150s have OBDII, I've never come across one that isn't OBDII.

If you have the inside diagnostic connector on the lower part of the driver's side dash, you have it.

I have a small connector under the dash, right under the glove box. Is this it? If so, where can i get a reasonably priced scanner??

Yep your OBDII equiped.

FTE has some nice scanners. We have SUN scanners at work they are pretty nice.

Autzone does scan OBDII vehicles for free too.

OBDII

Hey more than likely your truck is obd II becuase it is a 96, umm i work as a tech at sarat ford in agawam mass and i just piced up a scan tool from my local matco tool dealer for 400 which is pretty cheap. But it does obd II only but it does everything. Just though i would offer some advice.

AutoZone sells the scanner for the OBDII for $130 and it works great!
