How in depth of a tool are you looking for? The aeroforce scan gauge will display almost everything the pcm controls, and also read & clear codes. If you need more than that, I can give you a better recommendation.

If you're looking for an inexpensive scan tool to retrieve/clear codes and view live data, there are a lot of options available for $200 or less. I have an Equus Innova that is capable of Can OBDII and ABS for Chevy, Ford, and Dodge...it's in their 3100 series, I believe that it is the 3160 (can't remember at the moment and the scanner is down in my truck)

It will also let you know if your monitors have run so you can go to state emission inspection and be sure not to fail for Emissions Monitors not being ready. I have an intermittent check engine light (P0446) for a faulty evap vent valve that I haven't replaced yet, and I was able to clear the code and drive around until all of the monitors ran and passed, and go to inspection and pass. Now I have another two year reprieve until I have to replace the vent valve

It will display OBDII generic data, and transmission P codes, but won't show when solenoids are activated, tcc engagement, trans temp, etc.
I also have an old AutoXray scan tool that I basically use just to check for knock retard, as the 3160 doesn't show that info. I haven't checked, but I'm sure that there is a GM Enhanced flash update available, as the scan tool came with a disc and USB cable. That's how I ended up with KR scanning capability with my AutoXray, which also only displayed OBDII generic data. The AutoXray that I have has a small screen and only displays one parameter at a time...it's a bit of a PITA. The Equus Innova 3160 has a nice size screen and displays a bunch of data at once, and is extremely user friendly
