OBD-II reader, Cheap ones OK?
Are the cheap OBD-II readers any good? I need for my 2001 F150. There's some cheap ones on the net and I was wondering if anyone has used them?
Actron 9125 $55
Can $50
Genescan GS300 $60
Codescout 700 $63
...And lots more!

Just make sure it has the features that you want before you buy.
I've purchased code readers off of ebay and from harbor freight and have been pleased with both.
Seems that a lot of people buy the code readers for the CEL reset feature as a lit CEl means an automatic DQ during emission testing.
Good luck
