Obd Scanner Which One Works?

I bought an OBDII / EOBDII scanner off of ebay and when i went to link it to my 06 Powerstroke it wouldn't link. I looked through the manual and found that such scanner won't work on diesel engines in vehicles with a Gross Weight of over 2500 Kgs. For the price I got it for and the amountof usei will get otherwise it was stilla great buy, BUT WHICH SCANNER WILL WORK ON MY TRUCK? that wont cost my left leg?

Thanks

hmm thats sounds kinda weird. thought obdII was obdII. got my obdI for thirty bucks at checker. maybe they have something similar for ford diesels. most of us have programmers that pull codes so we dont have to worry. bump

All of the 6.0L equipped Super Duties are OBD-II CAN compliant. So you have to get an OBD-II CAN compatible scanner instead of a regular OBD-II scanner.
