Code Scanner

<HR style="COLOR: #d1d1e1" SIZE=1> <!-- / icon and title --><!-- message --><TABLE width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top>I'm looking into getting a decent code scanner for my trucks, one that will read both the 97 gas and the 06 diesel. I don't want to spend a million bucks ($100-200) but would still like to get something reliable and fairly easy to use. Any suggestions?

Just make certain it is CAN-capable. Most now are, but there are used ones out there that are not. CAN is required for your 06.

Actron and others make capable units in your price range.

I bought this one mid-December '06. Best price @ the time was, believe it or not, Amazon.com , $109.99 w/Free shipping. Had to update to this one for my Mom's '05 Escape and my '08 E250.
