Scan tool

What is everyone's suggestions for a scan tool? I have an 04 f250 with the v0. I'd like something that can isolate misfires to the cylinder if possible. All info welcome, thanks.

Checkout Forscan.org software and an ELM327 Scanner OBD2 port adapter on Amazon, everything for about $40.

FORScan is definitely the way to go---add the software to a lap top and you have dealer-level access to nearly every module and parameter the PCM covers. Its great with the CAN-bus netwworks finding their way into so many Ford's these days.

Make sure whatever you buy is compatible with YOUR PHONE.
i made the mistake and had to return it.
I think it was Torque, or Forscan.

I have the BlueDriver and I like it a lot. It even reads codes from abs and transmission and other modules.
