Preferred Diagnostics - AutoEnginuity or TorquePro?

So what’s everybody’s preference? No experience with either, and the majority of my work is on OBSs and others of that era -

Ah, I didn’t realize Torque was just a code reader - is there anything similar to AE a person should look at? Also - I’ve run across a few 94-95-96s that have never had the update to OBDII software, I’m told - will AE still get readings, or do they need a trip to the dealer first?

Torque will do more than read codes. It can monitor engine live and you can make custom gauges with it.

AE should b better for a shop but not sure about reading old non flashed ECM

Most of these trucks are old enough that if they have ever been back to the dealer then it’s probably been flashed to help them diagnose.

AE has several connection options, one of them is OBDII, which will not connect on my truck. There's another option that does connect. The AE connection instructions tell you which connection option to choose. AE works pretty good for me, however I've never used any other product like Torque Pro to be able to compare them. AE is fairly pricey but you also get excellent customer service if you have questions or problems. I think Torque Pro is relatively dirt cheap? If so, I'd try it first and get AE later if Torque Pro doesn't do the job.
