I bought a OBD2 system and can't make it work with my laptop :(
I'm not very knowledgeable on computer stuff.

Cam sensor replaced about 10-20,000 miles ago.
Changed oil & filter Monday, tried starting and then checked sight plug.
It was full, and I pulled lines off head and they were full.
I have the mess to prove it :(

Will try IPR today if I have time. I'm not too far from International.

Thanks appreciate any help offered.

OK,, thanks. I heard some guys claim it works and some claim it doesn't???
It has the OBD2 plug under the glove box, and there is "NO" OBD1 plug next to the injection computer.


I did try it on the '95, '15 & '17 and couldn't make it read??
So I assume if all 3 don't read, it's not programmed right??

When I get time, I was planning on bringing it to the computer guy and see if he can load the damn thing.

Think of 7.3s as cousin ralphie. He's not too bright, he may even have a bit of a speech impediment, but when you want to move a couch or something hell be there to get the job done, but he may leave some splatter on your toilet seat and drink all your soda pop. But at least the job is done

OK, thanks again. I ordered the IPR today.

So are you saying the '15, and '17 F-350's have a jacked up system also??
I assumed a '15 & '17 would work with the new scanner if I did it right???
I wasn't counting on the '95 working, but I was trying to get lucky, thinking the few bucks was worth the risk,
and we would have it for future issues??

I was towing the 5th wheel all day, so I ordered the part from the road.
Have not looked at anything, when I got back to shop I went home.
Like I said, I'm old & fat and was exhausted.

If the IPR doesn't fix it, I'll have to keep plugging away at it when I have time.

I heard the IPR takes a special tool, so that might be an issue if true???
I have race car stuff, no specialty auto repair tools like sensor sockets :(
I'll know more tomorrow.

Thanks again guys.
