What Scanner

I have a 1996 F350 Diesel, and and 1997 Ford Expedition. What scanner should I get the will read both of these, and would be good if it would read codes from a Saturn also. The F350 Diesel is listed as OBD II Exempt, so I would need a scanner that can read both, without spending a fortune.

Just looking for some suggestions.

Thanks

Andrew

Pre OBDII on a ford is tough. I've got a MAC Mentor, have used SnapOn and many others, you can get live data fairly easy but the early fords dont store codes real well. You have to be able to run other tests to get them, KOEO & KOER. The OBDII scaners aren't real expensive, Pre OBDII you might look for a used one they get pricey.
