Code reader - do a search on this forum for info
Quiitr a bit of info here, but it maybe a little confusing. I tried an Actron that was supposed to read everything after 96 - no luck. So after reading the forum, I rented an Ezread 2000 (Autoexray i think) also supposed to read evrything after 96. ALl messages and scans said "not supported". Only thing I haven't tried is the 3100 model listed here - folks say it will work but it says obdII and all others I've tried that said that wouldn't work.....
The local diesel shop read it and said it had 4 or 5 codes and the IDM was bad. I'm not gonna fix it......

what scan tool??????????????
I bought an OBDII tester from this web site. It's specifically for 7.3 PSD.
I use it and works great. $150.00. http://www.ghg.net/dharrison/obdscan.html
I bought a used laptop for another $150 and now I'm portable!!

I have found the best aftermarket ford compatible scan tool for all of us to afford is made by DiaTek. You can go to there web site. It is a scan tool designed to work with a PDA and is the closest thing I have seen to an NGS or WDS ford specific tool.Last I saw a combo with PDA and tool for 699.00. It does all the same things as a ford tool including injector buzz and active commands. I got to use one at a ford training center where their techs train. I was able to scan a 2004 ford mustang and crown vic. There wasn't any strokes there to try. It even is CAN capable which is the newest protocol.

The 1997 Powerstroke was not OBD-II so our toll will not work with it.
