FORScan Lite is what you want. It is a one time purchase. I have it installed on my tablet, smartphone and Android head unit in the truck.
Check out these links paying special attention to the last one. These links were taken from the 7.3L PSD Tech Folder, so some if the PID's and information may be different, but this should get you pointed in the right direction.

Once you are familiar with FSL and how it works, you can chart the data with thus FTE member built charting tool.

FSL is a powerful tool that will empower you to learn aspects of your truck that you are not capable of seeing on a normal basis.

i didn't do a very good job. didn't improve much then it seemed to get worse. so i made another adjustment to the joint position and it felt real good for a short time then went kaboom. all that was done with the driveshaft on the truck. now, i'm trying to do things right and pull the shaft assembly. also needs a center support bearing. and that looks like i might need help to remove and replace it on the shaft.

Pre involvement with Chrysler I would hope!
I have a blue one, never could make work. But could have something to do with my cheaper LG phone. I think I only could see RPM readout.

I have a Galaxy S8 and the blue widget doesn't cooperate. i suspect the S8 is high on the list of very compatible Android phones... me thinks the blue widget isn't all that :-(
