      izzy s 98 is a funny year. Most 98s won't do it. You can buy a Bluetooth OBD2 dongle on Amazon for around 25 dollars, that connects to your phone and allows you to do all sorts of diagnostics. They work quite well.

      That is Kilometers, but I put about 420000 on it (about 260k miles) on the original engine and trans before I wrecked the truck. It was fully loaded with the tan interior, no cracks in the dash. Ran like the day it was new. I saved most of the engine parts and they're now in another truck.
