- WHY DO I KEEP BUYING DODGES?!?!?
I was flipping through this month's "Popular Mechanics" and they had a walkthru for building a shop PC. While it seemed like a ridiculously overpowered and over priced machine overall, I was interested in the Palmer Performance Engineering ScanXL USB OBD-II scan tool. My wife has had a VAG-COM (Volkwagen Auto Group) scanner for her Passat and I've wanted something similar for the Ranger. I puttered on their site and it seems if you spring for the "extended support" for Ford vehicles it should do everything her VAG-COM software does and then some, but before I pluk $200 on the scanner and the software, I was wondering if anyone here had used it or maybe another brand of scanner. I have a netbook that works great for taking along in the car when my wife is troubleshooting, so I'd like something for my truck. I searched the forums and someone had apparently used one for a touble code for a transfer case, but that's about it.
