Default code scanner

Anybody have a recommendation on which type of code scanner I should buy? Or where I can get the best deal?

Is that all you want to do is read your trouble codes? If so, I wouldn't bother buying one, just goto almost any autoparts store and they will read the codes for free.

Now if you are looking for some extra HP and what not from a programmer that can also read your codes, then you can look into Superchips, BullyDog, SCT tuners, and haven't checked lately but Diablo has been coming out with a tuner for about a year now for our trucks. Everyone is probably still waiting.

I did just want to have a trouble code read. Autozone took care of it for me but now apparently I have low oil pressure. I changed my oil 8 days ago and the truck only has 7000 miles on it. Any ideas?

Here's the one for $39 at Harbor Freight, they've got them at all price levels from there to about $120 depending on features...
