Thank You, I read all six pages of that thread, and I admit I did not understand all of it. But, I understood enough to know that no code reader is going to help in my situation, given where I live and where the truck is located (Remote/Rural Alaska).

My internet at top speed comes by Microwave, and is disrupted by rain, snow, leaves, flock of birds, etc.. At it's best it is only 99 Mbps. Plus this cheap'ass computer was new in 1998, and my computer skills are limited to checking the weather, checking e-mail, and a few forums, mostly reference Alaska Hunting.

I think I can get it towed into Los'Anchorage for about $400.00 and given that I want to sell the truck, investing $330.00 for a code reader that likely will not work with this computer, seems the most prudent path.
Again, thank you for the help.


Tech 2 Chinese knock off , if Mike L says it works thats all I have got to hear , from I think it was SICO, LOOK IT UP UNDER TOOLS ON THIS SITE . Good Luck !

A Tech 2 code reader dose not use the internet , it uses the port in your truck to power it and has a built in computer , on the site that shows the picture of the 32 bit GM card , click on that it shows everything with case . The truck will sell for alot more running than not ! Good luck with what ever you decide !

Do I understand correctly, that it will not identify the exact problem, and only points in a general direction as to the problem........??? Thank you for the help.

If you have more than one code , it will list them all and then an expert will have more info to help you . If you plan on working on another truck after you sell this one you can still use the Tech 2 on it if its covered under make , mod and year . Or if you dont burn out the Tech 2 , resell it !
