He said that as far as he can tell, it does everything that his Snap On Scanner does, just not as fast. Is not as intuitive as his scanner, either. He said for less than $400 price, it is great but he also paid 10 times more for his scanner. I am sure as I use it and get used to the flow of getting from point A to point B, it will meet my needs just fine, for home driveway work. As a matter of fact, I have a repeat customer that I have done some work on her 2010 F150 with a 5.4 and is 2wd. Says she was hoping some of the work I did would help it get better mileage. She never told me that was a concern of hers and she freely admitted that. No CEL. She only does short trips in town, 95% of the time and gets less than 10 mpg. I have told her to get it on the highway for a 30-45 minute trip at least. She said she did and the mpg went up by 1.5 to 2.0 mpg. I am gonna have her drop it on Friday morning and I am gonna go drive it with the scanner hooked up. I have explained about short trips and cold air density and octane fuel she uses and no will see what happens. I do know that Ford takes an act of God to set a CEL for misfires. But her plugs and ignition coils were done at a Ford dealership on 06/19 at 91,658 miles and she is at close to 113k miles now.</p></blockquote><p></p>
