I use Equus scanners and find them reliable and easy to use.  Have the #3145
for EEC-IV systems (1982-1995 Fords) and also a #3100 for ODB-II systems
(1996 & newer).  http://www.iequus.com

Thanks to everyone for their advice on the rear brake job.  Everything went
smoothly using the AutoZone loaner tools.

I'm looking to get a OBD II code scanner for my other (newer) vehicles - the
kind that use a laptop and serial port connector cable.  The V8 crowd uses
OBD II, I think.

I've looked on Ebay and found several companies, but none seem to stand out
in service or product.

Any comments/advice on people's experiences with them will be greatly
appreciated.  A tool that will also let me read the SHO's codes would be a
real bonus.

Thanks!
