Good scan tool for running diagnostics?

Looking for a good scan tool to run diagnostic apps like HO2S etc. I have plenty of code readers and they all do the same thing. They read codes. Only. Anyone have any suggestions? It's tough to sort through the choices.

My 6.8L is an '02 non CA truck.

FORScan is a free software download that's said to be very, very close to the higher levels of dealership access to diagnostics. I'm not familiar with your HO2S app though----I don't "do apps".

If money is no option Snap On or Autel have pretty tremendous highest level complete diagnostic scanners.

HO2S = heated oxygen sensor. That is the PID terminology Ford uses. And the point of the thread was to ask for recommendations for a diagnostic app. Hence I don't have apps either. Although I do apps.

I'll check out the FORScan software. I have a licensed copy of Palmer Engineering PCMSCAN. Maybe I'll see what it can tell me.
