I'm new to the 3rd generation trucks ... I was looking for a code reader and the ability to clear codes .
Will a OBDII work on a 2005 , I did see a lot of post on the DRBIII , is this the opperating systems these run on ?
I did see a scanner that harbor freight had ... it was around 100 bucks .

Thanks

I second that, I am new to this whole jig with diesels and would love some advice in this arena.

 

Yes, OBDll is what I use, I think they started the CANBUS in 06 (not sure tho')
Some1 that knows for sure will post...

 

I know my way around 12valves and have 2 of them but this is the first 3rd gen for me .

 

I have the $100 scanner/clearer from Harbor Freight. It has worked flawlessly for me for about 3-4 years now....

 

For what it's worth... my opinion.... Put the money towards a Smarty Jr. It will read codes, clear codes, adjust tire speed and make your 3dr Gen run like it should. Plus you know and I know that you really want one anyway

 

I got mine from Autozone, it was about $100. I usually get the air temperature ons in the fall & spring (0514 & 0071) and sometimes clear the code if I have to hit the highway.

 

my 70 dollar one from checker auto works on the '06

 

Concur with Nascarcamper. Either the Smarty Jr. or the Bully Dog GT. You're almost 33% towards either one and they are a lot more versatile
