Code Scanner needed.

Need a code scanner. Which one have people here had success with.
Truck broke down and would rather scan it my self if possible.
thanks for any information.

Truck had loss of power 2 miles from house and died. Towed it back home and changed out cps unit and still won't start. I'm thinking Injection Pressure Regulator , but don't want to waste money and time on trial and error replacing parts.

Thank you FTE!!!

Thanks for the info. Got home from running errand and my mother-in-laws car won't start now. Had to tow home with my Grand Prix. Now I have 2 cars that are not running.
Gobstopper if you need a vacation you can bring your scanner to HOUSTON. I really appreciate the offer!

Those are the two I would recommend. I have the scangauge and its awesome and its always in the truck. Great for watching other parts of your PSD as well.

I still want to get AE for more in depth diagnostic and for use at work. If you don't have a laptop go with the scangauge

The cheapest place I've found to get the AE is from Dennis AutoEnginuity PC Scan Tool (USB)

If you're not in a hurry, I'm gonna be in Houston either next week, or the week after. I'll have my AE with me. If you haven't got it figured out by then, I'd be happy to scan it for you.

You would have been better to send me your cell # through a PM instead of posting it on the WWW. I copied the number down, so go back and edit your post and take out your number to be on the safe side.

I'll let you know once I figure out when I'll be heading down there.
