Good scan tool

[gta87305]

Now that I have the 5.3 running in my truck I want a scan tool that can read misfire data and bidirectional controls if possible. Stuff like crank position relearn and stuff like that. I have been looking at a few but unsure what the hptuners scanner can do. Is it capable of controls like that? thanks

Yes hptuners will do those things, but you may need to load some customs pids for things like misfire data. Hptuners is just about the most powerful scan tool on the market.

Yes the only difference is you can't log wideband with the basic.

Mostly just GM some fords and mopars. I have seen some random newer Toyotas And such that can be logged.

Are there any other good scan tools to purchase other than hp tuners or efi? I'm looking for something that will be able to command tests ( EVAP, O2 SENSOR, MONITORING SYSTEMS), as well as show codes, erase them too. Would also like to see live data. Any good ones for $300 ?

Hptuners makes a scan only tool that's like $350
