you can use a autoengunity and tech2. tech 2 is GMs own scan tool which is mega bucks. autoengunity is the easiest to use and there is one more but i cant remember the name. tech 2 you can find on ebay and autoengunity you can order from their website.

Right you are, on both counts as this poster slinks off to a corner to .

Is it auto or maunaul trans, that ain't posted in top rite corner not that it has anything to do with timing l had to recover a little pride

So goes the folly of being an infrequent visitor, one gets used to automatically looking for just signature information at the bottom you find at most other sites, you overlook forest for the trees.

Now that we/I know the flavor of 6.5 another tool that will work and easiest to come across is a Snap-On scan tool most shops have one of those, were we a little closer he's one end of Ms I'm at other I'd have him swing by and we would use mine.

Car-Code is possibly another you were thinking of Woody it is a software scanner you put on a laptop to scan/tweak with.

Hot Rod you'll also want the IP wrench set that makes life so much easier.
