I haven't used it.I have a cheap scanner I got from Amazon.com for about 17 bucks - it hasn't let me down.Personally, if I was going to spend more than 100 bucks on a scanner, I'd get a scan gauge II.

If it has definition on the display more than likely the definition will be wrong. Because to get the code number and look it up yourself in the Dodge FSM or the article pages here.

I read in one of the reviews that it didn’t read a 350 Ford. Checking around the web it appears that one ton trucks are considered commercial hence not included in many scanners.Does the Scan Gauge II read P codes?

As far as what I know all passenger vehicles including one tons truck have to have OBDII service port after 1996 for smog reasons. All 1996 to current Dodge truck including one tons have the port and do report P-codes. Yes. ScanGauge II will work on 1998.5 to 2002 without a issue. There is a compatibility list over on ScanGauge II site (www.scangauge.com)

I have the scanner from Harbor Freight and it has not let me down yet. It will even read the manufacture specific codes that Chevy has.
