I want to buy one of those code scanners. Anyone have any experience with them, recommendations,
etc. My check engine light is on, and I've had it scanned, but it seems like one of those scanners
might be a worthwhile investment.


Don't know if you can do it on yours, but my old Chevys would let you
jump the prongs on the connector under the dash (they acutally made a
tool for it that went on your keyring) and you would see the code
flashed on the check engine light.

Don't you have a big diesel? The other option might be to chip the
thing, I would imagine you would get some kind of connector and software
with that setup...
