What OBDII PC based scanner/software?

[great white]

I've got a fairly wide selection of OBDII PC scanner programs already.

What seems to work best with the 96-98 OBDII Diesel trucks?

As in:

Reading the most parameters, data logging, PID support, etc.

I've got autoenginuity somewhere amongst a couple dozen other OBDII programs. It's ver 6."something or other". (*edit* found it, ver 6.0.2. Circa 2008) I've never messed with it much so I'm not sure how well it works with OBDII diesels, hell I don't even know where it is right now...

I wish two way programming was possible, but I just don't have a couple grand to drop right now.

Heck, might as well list the rest of the stuff I have kicking around:

Carcode
Digimoto
PCMScan
Proscan
Scanmaster
ScanXL
moDiag

Looks like you have whats available. Autoengenuity and Carcode are the ones talked about here.

Scratch that.

My autoenginuity won't connect to my ELM 327 chip.

All the rest of my programs will though...

Some may not have all the correct multipliers and all the right parameters like TDCO. AE and Carcode seem to, but Carcode seems as though you have to learn its quirks.

Except for AE or CarCode, most of what you mentioned are ELM based.

Yup. Elm 327 and not bi directional other than code clearing.

Have an order in for carcode.

They are designed for gasser to check the sensor readings and figure out which sensor is bad. There are too many sensors in american gasser that can go wrong after about 100k miles.
