No, it will not work properly, since it is only OBDI/II compliant. Since 2004 (2003 with the 6.0 PSD) FMC has used CAN bus compliant technology which is more advanced than OBDII. FMC also has the most enhanced codes of any manufacture. Starting with the 2008 MY all vehicles will be required to be CAN bus compliant.

maybe so blackhat620. that's all my bud had and when I ran it today it pulled up P0442 (Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (small leak).

could this be the all-too-common leaky ford gas cap thing happening to mine? oh well, I'll take it over to autozone tomorrow and see if they have CAN bus compliant decoder to check for anything else.

Autozone do not have the proper scan tools for your 08 or SD trucks as far as I know.
