Late 95s, like my 10/95, are OBD2 compliant as it is a 1996 model year truck. Everything had to be compliant by 1996.
Early 7.3 DI are OBD2 ready. You need to reflash the PCM. A few of the usual suspects do this, cost is about $100 last I looked. Or buy a later PCM.
I never had much luck with Torque Pro or the other Bluetooth one. Probably because I have a cheap cel phone. I understand quality tablets connect far easier. My first gen Edge Insight works fine with my PCM after a firmware update, it was originally on my 6.4
FWIW, there really is not much than you cannot test with a good DVOM and basic knowledge. These trucks are beyond simple. Most failures are simply mileage or age fatigue related. **** breaks after 25 years.

I have a 94.5 truck and it must have had the pcm flashed in the past as it reads obd2. I use a bafx bluetooth scan tool with toque pro and it works ok. I use one with laptop that is cabled so i can use forscan which has more data but not as fancy graphics interface. Your port is working from sound of it so maybe the scan tool you got is a bad (cheap Chinese cloned chip) and not working right.
