Is there a good code reader for around $100

I want the code reader to do the following: 1. Read all the codes that the dealership can read. 2. After I fix the truck I'd like to be able to clear the p1000 code since it does not get above 50 degrees up here for months at a time. 3 This is optional but it would be nice if I could change the performance of the truck.

04 heritage 4.2 v6 stick shift

I have a lap top and a Motorola 4g smart phone but for some reason can't download anything with the phone

You can get a good reader for less than $100 on ebay that will read the codes and reset the MIL light, but it will not re-program the computer.

Looks like I will save some money for a Acton 9190. I just hope that it doesn't go out of date any time soon.
