ohh ok I will try, I always assumed because this truck does not have an obd2 port that I would need a special scanner to scan it. I will head to the local auto parts stores to see this weekend and will report back

Finding a parts store that still has an OBDI scanner may indeed be a problem.... Hadn't considered that......

If you plan to keep that truck long term, you might want to see if you can find an old Snap-On MT2500 scanner and the Chrysler/Dodge cartridge that covers that year truck and the adapter that plugs into the diagnostic port. You can find them on eBay, Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist, to name a few sources...

I know there are OBD1 to OBD2 adaptors. They allow to use an OBD2 scanner. I have never used it but, worth a shot. Just an idea.
