Hi Docfixit,
The scanner tool is my neighbor's and he is at work now so I can't check. He tried 2 different ones and neither will link up. Would a OBDI scanner be used on this model and year? Or does it need a different one. I'm not the mechanic here; I've referred to the Haynes manual and my neighbor who does all the mechanical stuff.
I thought my trani was going out because of a jerking into gear that started recently. He said he had a similar problem with his Dodge and it turned out to be the VSS.

Just to add this one being a 1995 gm truck does it have the 12 pin obd1 connector or the 16 pin obd1.5 hybrid connector?If it has the hybrid connector a generic scan tool may have trouble reading it.Especially if its a obd2 scanner that may plug in if it has the 16pin connector but wont read.
