93 Was first year for OBDII. Some diesels and imports were 94.

I'm trying to diagnose a problem on my 97 f250 with an obdII scanner I borrowed from an auto parts store, but it keeps saying it can't communicate with the truck. Any ideas? I assume my truck is obdII compliant.

I know that gas engine trucks ford didnt start obd 2 until 96 so my 92 obd 1 is practicly useless so odds are the 94 turbo diesel i found is OBD2?

Look for the connector under the dash. All OBDII have the same one.

I purchased a $100 OBD II scanner at Autozone and it said there were no problems found. The truck would not even run!! I have a friend who is a Ford diesel mechanic and he used his Snapon Scantool and found 3 codes. He told me that the cheaper scanners are not compatible with diesel engines. Look on Ebay, you usually can find a good used one for $300-$500 dollars.
