from the link, that appears to be just a replacement connector, not the actual code reader.

i got that code reader from a local mills fleet farm for $20 and it works great for me now. i would rather save up and get a good code reader cause you can run test and see what every sensor is putting out for voltage and stuff.

You can pull codes without a code reader.

$20. Don't need the extension, but they're nice to have to do the scan sitting in the truck. http://www.handsontools.com/Equus-In...ol_p_5574.html
