There is a computer based program that most people recommend here. I can't remember the name.
Anyone?

Autoenginuity is what Neal is talking about. From what I hear it is a great system. I would also recommend the Aeroforce Scan gauge. It will read codes and data and has optional buzz and contribution test for about $250.

Actually I think Most of the parameters on the scan gauge will transfer. SD got more on it to read than our OBS-but the scan buzz and contribution should still work. Give terminator engineering a call and ask. And its a simply OBDII plug and play so no problems switching between the trucks.
