Personally...I like the SnapOn MT2500 or AutoXray, but you can find decent
scanners for about $200 that will show pressures and other sensor related
outputs (not just Code Scanners).

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping it was something similar to what you've
mentioned, but I didn't know where to start looking. Transmissions are a
black box to me. I don't have a scanner, but I've long wanted to get
something. Is there a brand you'd recommend? Is there a product that will
act as both a programmer and a scanner for a '97 5.2L? Thanks again, Mark
