Does anyone no much about OBD-II scanners i want to get one for my 1999 expedition to check the engine codes coming up on it. what should i look for in one and which scanners would you guys recomend?

you should be able to get a cheap one that will tell you the codes only for under 200 bucks.

I got one from crappy tire on sale for $79.99 a while ago and it shows me the code and I find it in the supplied book!! It was cheap and is very easy to use!!

Princess Auto had a $99.00 unit on sale for $53.00, works great for reading engine and emissions codes....just wish it would read the ABS codes....

See if you can also get one that will delete the codes as well, as most will not as far as I know.

I have never seen one that doesn't delete the codes. Mine is about the cheapest around and will delete any codes.

I've got about 5 scanners of different makes/models, but the best is the snap-on.......lol.........

Then they have changed over the years.

they were sold out when I went in there last week. NAPA has one on sale thats supposed to be a good unit for $59.00....gonna check it out. The boy took his car up town as a code popped up and they charged him $60 bucks to read a code to let him know a $15 relay was shot....guess we'll buy our own code reader as well!
