I have thought about getting one of these for years because of the ability to get transmission nil temperature. They run about 160 USD now, but amazon.ca actually had it for 160 canadian! I didn't hesitate because that works out to about 120 USD or so.
Now, Bill, you had a similar Explorer to ours. I tried it out and it worked well, except I couldn't release the parking brake. Ford had the great wisdom to put the OBD connecter immediately in front of the release handle so I can't leave it connected if I use the parking brake.
