Best code readers??????

What are the best code readers to pull all codes out of the computer and where is the best place to purchase one? The OBD11 that Autozone has doesn't seem to pull all the codes. I think I want to buy a good one to keep from paying Ford their $185.00 dollar diagnostic fees. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

There's a tool called AutoEnginuity that is pretty darn powerful. It can read basically everything possible, and loads onto a laptop, so you can take your laptop along in the truck for readings while you're driving. ITP Diesel sells it:

Otherwise most of the modern programmers will do it, such as an SCT or Predator or one of those. A lot of guys who replace those with custom chips such as DP-Tuner's still hang on to their old programmers for the sake of being able to pull codes if need be.
