Another dumb question. How do I know if my truck is OBDII?

All cars in built for the USA from 1996 are OBD-II. As far as I know all ford rangers from 1995 are OBD-II. The connector is under the dash to the left of the steering column. Get a code reader and learn to use it on your 1997 ranger!

Probably a smart investment especially if they are as cheap as 20 bux. I spend more then that on beer every Sunday watching my football team lose.

I am out of my area of expertise on the tablets. What I do know is my daughters has the nook and as of last Xmas when she got it would not work with it unless I rooted? It. I think the other DROID tablets let you use Torque right out of the box. I think B&N are trying to control what you buy on the nook. I think most of them have Bluetooth, however you can get an obd adapter that takes a cable.

Nope, didn't notice a buzz in my radio. But I was more focused on how my truck was running then the radio, so there is a chance it might have.
