Autoenginuity is the one but you need the Ford enhanced version
many on this site use it and it takes a bit of time to learn every thing it is capable of but it is good

you can get it from a sponser at this site at best price

AutoEnginuity PC Scan Tool (USB)

Try this out.....

I use CarCode which can be found at OBD-2 Vehicle Explorer Scan Tool Browser

The software is free.

So all you need to do is buy or build the computer interface.

I think he now sells it on ebay. Check it out.

Works pretty good for me!
