Best scanner to buy
I have been looking at scanners and I am just wondering
which one to buy? I can buy a Snap On Modis for $1,500 but I not sure what software you need for the Powerstrokes. |

I agree that Auto Engenuity is the best bang for your buck.....but if you want a stand alone scanner i would go with a Matco/OTC scanner over a snap on one myself. I have played with most of them and they by far seem to be the best deal as far as overall functionality.... The other thing to consider would be finding a used snap on brick. Snap on is not going to support them after 08 if i remember right....so a lot of people are selling them. If you got one with current software you could have something that would work for your truck pretty reasonably.....downside is they wont be updatable soon.... |

Looking for non PC based scanner
I have 1999 Power Stroke from Oregon and am looking for a scanner (no PC based) which I can carry with me. I hate to get stock on the road at mercy of a Ford dealership. I called Actron and they told me that it is not certain if Actron Auto Scanner Pro CP9190 will work. They claimed that reading protocol was not enforced by EPA until 2001 or 2002. My Owner’s manual states that 1999 CA models were OBDII but my unit from Oregon is still OBDI.
So my question is, is there anyone who is successfully used Actron CP9190 ($260 in Amazon), or EZ-scan AX6000, or EQUUS 3140 all of which can read manufacturing enhanced code? My Check Engine Light is on, truck intermittently stops and I am hoping that it is the famous CPS which dealer will replace tomorrow under recall. Thank you, George. |
