Diagnostic tool purchase?
Ok, Im trying to avoid the rape at the dealer and know what to expect when I walk in with problems. I am having issues now and have a CEL but cant find or dont know of a good Powerstroke shop in the Royal Palm Beach Florida area, so I figured I would become more informed myself and buy a scan tool or diagnostic software. Im new to PS diesels so I am asking for comments on what to buy that will give me the most for my money. Not sure but I would like to try to be somewhere in the $500 range that would be about 4 trips to the shop to repay.. Thanks for any information.

Best bang for your buck is autoenginuity with the ford enhansments. that thing is sweet. I have one and many people on this site do as well. it is probably the closest thing you can get on the market to the one that ford uses with out buying theres. witch is upwards of $1000 I have been told. you can get the autoenginuity with the ford enhancements for around $300-$350. I got mine from Clay at riff raff diesel for $320. this thing can do amazing thing from read and clear DTC to recalabrate the speedometer to running individual system test to see if something is wrong that is not throwing codes.

it's your loss. Clay is a great guy to deal with. I always just call him to order. He has some of the best prices around and with free shiping you won't find a better deal.

I also had the site resend you your password. Your account is set-up and all your info is active, you must have typed the password incorrectly.
