I doubt it's a computer issue since it works perfectly every time I hook it up to an SD. On AE sometimes you have to change it to a non OBD II configuration to get it to connect to the truck which is a PITA sometimes. I have also had a 96 OBS that didn't want to connect on OBD II or non OBD II, switched it back to OBD II and it worked. Weird stuff.
Plus, the computer also works great to reburn the chip and datalog on my F-150.

This. And AFAIK, it's not a "sometimes" thing. I've had to uninstall/reinstall AE several times (reasons not related to AE), and every time, the comm is REAL flaky until I switch the "Initialization Type" to "Non-OBD-II...". Then it punches in like clockwork. After all, if our trucks were standard OBD-II, any old off-the-shelf schlepware or scanner would talk to it.
