New guy with missing V10 KS

My 99 F350 with 76K miles started missing a few days ago and the check engine light has never came on. I've changed the plugs and fuel filter but that did not help. I've read here on the site where it might be possible to still find out what cylinder was missing if hooked up to a reader. My question is do I have to take to a dealer (I don't like local dealer) or can a reader from an auto parts store work? This just makes me sick truck has always ran great and pulled like a champ.

I don't want to get too technical in here, but you need to go to a dealer or a very good mechanic with a good scan tool.

Go to the V10 forum, and post there, we'll be glad to help
