yes sir. an archaic one, but it is there.

the connections for the scanner are under the hood.

the old style tester was powered by the truck battery. he had to search for the proper scan card for the unit too.

Damn. I always got told that the older trucks couldn't be scanned. Would have made life a lot easier at times if I knew that.
