I am looking for a decent code reader for my 1996 Ram 1500. Any suggestions?
I don't want to overspend on more than I need.
Thanks

Hi,

I think the '96 has the OBD-II system. Try www.harborfreight.com for a
reader. I think I saw them there for around 60-bucks, maybe more maybe
less.

You may know this, but you can get basic codes by cycling your ignition
key. Here are the instructions and code list...

Hi Ryan,

I posted a "thanks" just after you posted that but can't see it listed
so will say thanks again. Great site.
