the best would be the ford scan tool, either the ngs (more affordable) or the wds (more expensive)

slightly off topic... glad you are here jake! this is the most diverse, considerate, knowledgeable groups of people i have ever found online. welcome!

back to topic... are you having a particular set of issues you are trying to resolve, or are you just wanting to give your rig a checkup?
