Re: Please buy a F@#$%& Code reader!
And may I add, buy a shop manual. Haynes and Chilton are ok, but the Ford book is the OFFICIAL source.

This X2ooo, Forget about plasti dipping your Sub's or a 4" lift for your double Din deck !!! It won't get you down the road to pick up your Girl...
Some of you guys spend $400 on throwing parts at the truck ,only to find it was a $5 part that was the problem after you had the Code read..Use the $400 to buy the top of the line scanner that gives you "LIVE DATA" It will pay for itself the first couple of times you have to use it.
And Geek is right about the "young lady's" I've use mine at work for the girls I work with and now I'm a hero to all the young girls

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
Torque it down till it breaks off, then back it off 1/4 turn.

Re: Please buy a F@#$%& Code reader!
I don't have one, but have been looking at picking one up. Is it worth the extra $$ for a fancier one? Or will the basic one be usable enough?

Mine is a cheap one and im happy with it. Got it off eBay for 20 bucks shipped. I think the cheapest one at advance is like 40 up.
