Where is a good place to get the codes read. Not looking to spend all the money on the AE right now, and just kind of curious what codes I have if any. Will the dealerships do it, or other shops?

 

What engine/model/year? O'Reilys normally keeps a fairly high-end OBDII/CAN code reader behind the counter that works for most things, either they read them for you, or they ask for an ID and let you go mess with it. A dealer will probably charge you .5-1hr of shop time to read them.

 

Running the 7.3 2000 model. No lights are on, people just saying they store codes, so kind of curious on what I have on mine.

 

Where are you located, if you're close by I'm sure someone would hook you up and read it for you. If not, x2 on O'Reilly.

 

Im in Glen Rose/Somervell county.

 

A little too far for me to help, hopefully someone will come along.

 

They store codes if a code has been set. If you haven't had a CEL, there may not be any codes, or you may just have a bunch of phantom codes.

If you're not in a hurry, I can read the codes next time I'm in Glen Rose or we could meet up in Cleburne one day and I'll check them.

 

What do you mean set a CEL? Is that when the check engine light comes on? If so I have put about 3k miles on this since I bought it and that hasnt came on.

 

Yes. CEL = C heck E ngine L ight

 

Sorry dumb question. I always just call it the check engine light, never put 2 and 2 together. Either the blonde in me is coming out, or im just to tired. Well I may have bought a decent truck then if that hasnt popped on, well decent besides the suspension.

 

Where abouts in Glen Rose(Six Pack City) do you live?I am out 144 South.Might be able to throw the AE on it some afternoon.
Sorry.....Auto Integrity Scanner....You will catch on to all of these brevs soon.

 

I told you some helpful folks would come along. I believe riverrat meant to say AE = Auto Enginuity.

 

Im west of Glen Rose, but I can go almost anywhere when work permits.

 

for our powerstrokes, u can still get codes and not have a CEL on at all. it's wats stored in the memory. we have a bunch of computers on our powerstrokes, so it may not be in this computer, might be in the other, but a code reader will pick it up. not all though.

 

It seems to be running good, or should I say good to what I know. This is the first Ford I have owned. The only thing im thinking is I may need to do a tranny flush because after the bigger blocks in the rear, it seems to downshift more. But I am in a hilly area, so my mind may just be making me think that since I just got done doing something to it.
