I got a Delta Force Tuning Data Scout. It data logs and reads and I think clears codes. It does Average HP and 0-60 times. It has a headphone like jack that I can plug my wideband into and it will log that too. It plugs into the OBD2 port and I have a bluetooth dongle that plugs into my laptop that it sends the info too. Its all wireless. I then can pull up the info in excel or something like that and look it over. Here is the one that I saved. It don't really make any sense to me but I hope when I get a few WOT runs in hemifever can understand it and and change my tune if need be.

Ouch, I go wednesday to get my cast off from my surgery. Well I can take it off now, had a blood clot so had to cut the cast, but I get the walking boot then. I have a plate and 6 screws
It all depends on the software on your comp.... It came with a disc with their own scantool software, but its limited to checking/clearing dtcs, and monitoring a few sensors like O2, temp, rpm, engine load, and a few others. However, I got my hands on a couple nice full featured programs. The main one I've been using is ProScan 5.0. It has a ton of options, from separate vehicle profiles, right up to a ******* dragstrip and dyno. You can even run a full diagnostic and print out a report if needed. Very cool little tool.
(edit: v irtual doesn't make it past the forum censors?? wtf
)
All the scantool itself is is an interface between the laptop and OBD2. Just a box with a handful of leds for power, Tx/Rx indications. It comes with an OBD2-serial cable and a USB cable
If you are interested in a full featured scanner for not a lot of money, and have a laptop, I would recommend getting something like this. But if you just wanna check codes, don't bother, it's a bit of a PITA compared to a handheld scanner just because of the wires and comp ya gotta hook up... Also, if you do get one, make sure it has a genuine ELM327 chip in it. You'll know what I'm talking about if you look around at them. This one was the best bang for my buck I could find...

just wear and tear. i had the passenger side done last year along with the bearing and didnt have the money for the other side. but in the past month in a half the sensor in the bearing went and had to replace it. found the bearings cheap so got 2 and had the driver side done.
the top bearing was on the passenger side lol it fell apart when my bf tried taking it out!
