Get yourself a red brick snap on, they were the best back then I believe the newest update was to 08. Should be able to scarf one up fairly cheap now a days.... I have a snap on Solus ultra now. Cost me too many thousands.
Bach in 01 my first red brick cost me something $3gs....
And people wonder why I'm putting together a couple of 80s carbureted trucks ... I'm tired of computer modules, and paying all the time for updates to keep up at work.
Get something you can work on with a screwdriver and all those SAE tools I'm sure you have that are collecting dust. That you've already spent the money on years ago

Probably best to go to the local parts store and see what they have. I bought a Innova from Auto Zone. It does what I need done. Lots of different models so check out which one does transmissions. Just a couple hundred dollars.
anyone use the cheaper ones on amazon like 120 bucks or less ?
i bought one at harbor freight, works good for what i need checks codes on every brand that i hooked up to.
but i also have a DRB3 that i use on my daily dodge truck drivers which are all diesels up to 2005.But cant update the drb3 to go newer than 2005 either

The cheap ones will just be code readers, and then just generic codes that all manufacturers use. You have to spend good money for a scan tool that can access manufacturer specific codes and proprietary information.
This is the one I have..............

don't go cheap. most of cheaper ones WON'T DO TRANS OR ANYTHING ELSE.
Easyautofix EAF-1
Can check out their YouTube to see if it reads transmission codes... don't think it does but check to see.
Shipped in from Amazon. Does what I want, reads codes and clears codes.
$17.00 plus shipping from Amazon:
Works better than my Orange unit for reading codes. Has more options of what it can do too.
For this price you can store a spare in your glove box. Surprising works well for the money.
