Re: Code Readers.....WTF

its one of those in between model years, as blazee explained. i had a '95 and had the same problem. i ended up buying a autoxray unit, EZ-Read 2000 to be more specific. there are others out there that will work too, but I choose the autoxray, because it was/is still upgradeable, so it can be used with newer models too. Worked like a charm, plus I could use it with my other vehicles as well, so it was a very good investment for me. Canadian Tire has nothing that will work, so don't waste your time.

if your truck has the VCM (computer) mounted on the passenger wheel well, over the coolant tank, there is a chance the generic OBDII scanner will work. I have seen where it didn't as the system was still not fully OBDII compliant. I think LT mentioned on here once, that there is a flash for these trucks from the dealer, with the third type of system (VCM (computer) mounted on the passenger wheel well), that in fact does make them fully OBDII compliant, and in turn, a little easier to use generic code readers, but I personally am not positive on this.
