Code Reader and Parts Brand question
Hi,
I would like to purchase a code reader for my 99 Ranger. I would like something under $100, but I need to be able to determine some things for myself as I live in a country with somewhat inept mechanics at times :) Any suggestions?
Second, on parts... I am needing to get a couple of sensors. Does a person have to spend the money on OEM parts, or will A1 Cardone or BWD parts work?
Thanks so much!

I have the actron cp9125 scanner. Its around 50 bucks and can read and delete codes. It will only give you the number so you will have to look at the included booklet or search online, which to me is fine.
A1 Cardone is pretty much reconditioned OEM parts. They pretty much take the cores and refurbish them. BWD is a great company and has lifetime warrantys on about 99% of their products. Hell some of the parts on your Ranger are probably BWD with a Ford stamp.

You could also get an ultraguage and then you would have gauges to display things like rpms, average mpg, engine temp among other things.
Price is right too, $60 plus shipping. Plus there is a rebate. Something to consider, there are a number of members that had them and like them. I enjoy mine.
