Post Recommended Scan Tool?

Have a 2012 F150 with 3.7 V6 and I am using the Uscan by Actron. Can not get the live display to work. My truck will not start and I was hoping to get a fuel pressure read out confirmed. I can not hear the fuel pumps so I am suspecting the Fuel pump controller. BUT really I would like an easy to use Scan tool that works well with late model ford trucks. Thanks for the info.

I got a couple different Actrons and they all work good. One of my favorites is the CP9575. It's the same one most places like Advance/VatoZone uses. Plus it's cheap.

You have to use a Ford specific scanner to see a lot of the live stream values or detailed codes. I have used Fordscan free version and it works well. The paid version would be better. Torque Pro can be programmed to add in many live values.
