What would you guys recommend as a good scanner for a psd? I need something that is not going to break the bank, but that can do a little more than just simply pull and clear codes. (Sure wish my smarty could talk to my psd). I don't know; is there is even anything out there in the couple hundred dollar range that would be worth spending money on.

 

Auto Enginuity is the one I would get... I think you can get them for like $359 +/- It runs off your computer though... It will read codes, data log, do just about anything...

Check with Clay @ RiffRaff...

 

I agree with AE. I got mine from denis at strictly

 

My next choice would be a Scan Gauge because it is the physical shape of a gauge which would fit well in a steering column pod or in the pillar if you have an extra hole. It displays a bunch of information like ICP and DC% as well as reads codes and that... So that is another option for you...

 

anyone know anything about scantool.net? From looking at them, they are pretty close in capability to autoenginuity, but would like a little feedback about them before I jumped off of that cliff. They have a gettup for about $220, and a download demo, so maybe I will try that one to see how it reads and such...

 

huh! I went to the Scan Gauge website because of your post and it sure seems like an impressive tool. What concerns me is the price. It claims to do so much more yet costs considerable less than other tools like the Auto Enginuity. This sets off warning bells for me. Can anyone chime in having used the Scan Gauge and give us a review?

I see yours is a 95 (same as mine). Does the AE work full function on your 95? I am trying to decide whether or not to buy one but can't find for sure information about whether or not it will work.

 

it does everything i have asked it to so far.

 

well, the real killer for the scantool, is my cummins is not supported. It really doesn't matter what a program can do, if I would have to buy two different one, it really isn't worth it. I don't have a cable long enough to plug in to the free download version to see what it can let me do, but the more homework I do, the more I am not impressed by scantool and am leaning more toward AE. we see what the guys in the dodge forum recommend too.

 

why would you ask a dodge forum about scan tools for a powerstroke?

 

because I only want to buy one tool

one size fits all kind of thing...
