    ok well lemme say why i want one (its actually more for my dad)

    we have been having an ongoing problem with his emissions codes coming up. if we can reset it every time he gets an inspection, it will be alot cheaper than trying to get it fixed every year.

    I may be wrong on this but even if you reset the emission codes, there are monitors that still have to be reset. I think the only way to reset them is to drive so many miles at certain speeds. The only thing the scanner will let you do is clear the check engine light but the monitors will still be tripped and seen by the inspector. Hopefully someone else can chime in and correct me if I'm wrong.

    yeah, OBDII inspections require about a 50 mile drive cycle after clearing codes before the emissions inspection will pass.

    Ugh. You are correct Red. I vomit thinking about trying to get my truck to pass for over a year.

    Good luck my man.
