Diagnostics Port

Could someone please tell me where the diagnostics port is located on a '95 with 351? Also, can I use an OBD II scanner to read the codes, or do I need something diferent?

Thanks in advance,

VMM

I'm pretty sure they were OBD I up till 96, but you can pull the codes by just using a paper clip, read this.

As far as the diagnostic port, it should be mounted under the hood on the driver's side fender, labeled "Test EEC". Here's a pic: Pic 1

Thanks VERY much, Acer. It was probably right in front of me all the time. The paper clip trick looks interesting, but I think I'll look into a scanner for OBD1, if there is such a thing.

You can use an OBDII SCANER, but you will need the cables to hook up to your computer. IF, your 95 model truck happens to be a late model, such as one of ours, it just might be OBDII. If it has the OBDII, the tester hook up point will be in the cab of the truck, about mid way, under the edge of the dash it will be black . If its not OBDII your tester conector will be under the hood, on the drivers side finder near the hinge mount bolt . It will be a plug about 2" wide, and gray, it will be under a black plastic cover atached to the finder. It will also have a singal wire plug as well with it. Good luck

Go to Walmart. $24 for the code reader and diagnostics book for the OBDI which should be what you have.
