Looking for a code reader for my 05 ram 2500.

Key trick doesn't seem to work on my truck.

Any suggestions, I think I still have a misfire, but need to know what cylinder

Is it possible to find good code reader/scanner for under $100?

Thank you,

Steve

I have Bluedriver and highly recommend it. It's bluetooth to your phone or tablet and is the only one that I've found that reads chassis, abs and airbag codes reliably. The others seem to work on some vehicles, but not others.
