You need the enhanced bundle to see information from the 7.3 motor. If you don't get it, you'll just be able to pull generic codes like abs and stuff, but no engine codes. A $30 scanner from the local parts house will pull those.
The enhanced bundle is pricey, but it works.

another question, i no the sludge from an old 300 gallon home heating fueloil tank is what i put in my tank and is what clogged my injectors. so i'm gonna pull just those two, tear em down clean them and put em back to see what happens. already cleaned everything up to that point. so my question is, just suck out the two cylinders pull those 2 gp and hand crank. no oil or fuel should get any where else right.

I am looking at getting one for Christmas for the ole girl. Do I need a lap top to run it?
from what i've been reading, a computer, yes. does it have to be a lap top ? i dont think so , but it seems easier to me.

Something to consider: I have a "Carputer", it's a netbook. It has my DP Tuner interface, GPS, ISSPRO EV2 gauge interface, AE, all my digital documentation, pictures of the work I do on the truck, online receipts, and anything else truck-related I can come up with. There was a time when all you needed was a small folder and a manual in the glovebox... but technology is taking over the world and I'm braced for it.
I don't think the question about the laptop was leaving the desktop as an option, it would be nice if it worked on a smart phone or an Ipad... but they haven't done that yet.

I was not really serious about the desktop comment. Just being a smart*** as usual. Didn't even think about Ipad type devices - don't really know what they are. Computers were a long way off when I was in school.

Correct. Oil should not get anywhere else, but after rotating the engine by hand and re-installing the injectors, crank it a couple of times with the starter and the glow plugs out to blow out any remaining fluids. Just be sure to disable the truck so it doesn't start when you crank it. (unplug the CPS, pull the IDM relay, etc.)
