- Computer Interface:
- Select "Auto Detect Serial Port" ONLY if you are using a Serial version of the AutoEnginuity tool
- Select "USB or Manually Set Serial Port" for USB versions of the AutoEnginuity tool
- I prefer to turn off "Automatically Connect on Launch" so I can start the software without it trying to connect
- Vehicle Interface (these settings are for the BEST connectivity support for FORD POWERSTROKE DIESEL TRUCKS ONLY):
- "Vehicle Interface Type" should be "J1850PWM" for a 7.3L and "Auto-Detect" for a 6.0L
- "Initialization Type" should be "Non-OBDII" when connecting to a 7.3L
NOTE: The above settings will need to be changed to "Auto-Detect" and "OBDII Compliant" if connecting to a non-Powerstroke vehicle - "Use Fastmode CAN" and "Use Heartbeat" should not be selected when connecting to a Ford
- The above settings are automatically saved. You won't need to adjust these unless you change them to connect to a different vehicle.

can someone point me to an affordable compression tester for the 7.3. I ordered one two weeks ago from tooldiscounter.com and called them today and its backordered. Looking around I just can't tell if what they are selling me will work or not. I see the adapters range from 15.00 - 90.00 for what appears to be the same thing.
If anybody is in the seattle area that has one I would love to just rent it for a day. Hate to pay 100+ dollars for a tool that I will use once.
