Simple question, to do my own work on my Broncos, what are the essential tools I should get? Not the basic mechanical tools, the more specialized ones I need to work on this new-fangled thing that is ruled by chips that think they are smarter than I am.
I've been doing almost all the work on my vehicles for the past 10 years and basic Maintenace (oil, brakes, wires, plugs, coil packs, points, etc) for 40 years so am no stranger to the mechanical aspects, and even used OBD2 to check codes and some diagnostics. My newest vehicle till now however was a 2004 model year which seemed so much simpler and much less controlled by computer chips.
I've heard lots of mention of Forescan which I expect is some sort of OBD interface.
I also try and get the service manual for my vehicles as I find things like Haynes or Chiltons always seem to leave out the bit of information i really need.
