Code Readers
Which brands and models of Diagnostic Code Readers do any of you prefer for my 2001 SuperCrew? 
I think it's time to buy one for the toolbox. The truck is starting to bring up codes every now and then.
Right now I have a P1405 (DPFE sensor) code.

I bought this one last December. Surprisingly Amazon had the cheapest price at the time, $109.00 w/free shipping. I like it. Just be sure you get one with OBD II/CAN capabilities.
Automotive Shop - Equus 3110 Innova Diagnostic Code Scanner with Freeze Frame Data for OBDII (Post-1996) Vehicles
P1405 DPFE Upstream Hose Off Or Plugged
If the hoses are good and are tight on the fittings then the DPFE sensor MIGHT be bad. There is an easy test for that.

I would agree, a scan gauge would be cool. Don't look to spend less than $150. If you can find a deal for less than that, great, but make sure it can retrieve freeze frame data, and preferably a couple common live data feeds. And yes, make sure if can do Ford specific codes.
