Thx. Found it from a guy in Washington state--your neck of the woods Mark. I just hope it's not gonna be a ***** to figure it all out.

It’s easy. You only need one of those connectors, the one for the OBD port. And you don’t need the CANDI module, that’s for newer vehicles with CANBUS. You just need to install the card and the cable and hook it to the obd port and start messing around.

with the heads off a spring swap or seal job is super easy. have both heads done in like 30 minutes or less.

How to use it lol!
You’ll do what the rest of us did- plug it in, enter your truck info, and mess around with it. There’s no instruction manual as you probably know.

I see progress!! Nice.
I have one of them tech2 thingys. I have 3 handheld scanners, still got my old snap-on MT2500 “red brick” scanner, my HPTUNERS can do minor stuff but the tech2 is a handy little diagnostic tool. I agree, start playing with it and you’ll figure it out easily.
FWIW, if it were me, I would remove the valve springs, pull the valves, have the heads magnufluxed and surfaced, at the very least lap the valves and install new seals. But it’s your time and money and we all know the heads were fine before the bearing failure. It’s just what I would do because my motto is, “I’m right there”.

Thx Mark. I really appreciate that. When it comes down to it--it's only a car, and it makes him happy.That’s awesome dude. What a great dad.
Besides, when you go visit, you can take it out for a spin once in awhile still.
Yeah, it like how you don’t really need to OWN a boat, just need a friend who owns a boat. It’s way cheaper that way!

Good dad Tony.
