it's easy to make your own
do a search you should be able to find the schematic (i did, cheap and easy)

I plan on trying to make one myself but I can do it if I know what parts I need... I got the Diagram but I don't know how to read it. Any one have any sugestions.

then
If you've never read an electrical schematic before, I suggest hitting up a library. All you really need is 2 transistors, 1 diode, and 3 resistors. Three different colors of wire and a piece of breadboard would help too.... It may seem complicated at first, rest assured, it's an easy circut.

Should just print the diagram you want then take it to radio shack and say " gimme this"
Will probably the 50th time someone wanted to build one.

the chip is the only thing that costs any real money.
I made mine (with bells and whistles) for $20.
Mine has LED's that tell you when data is moving through either circuit, and when it has power.
That involved some creative use of fast swtiching diodes. But it certainly lights up a dark car.
2/3 packs of 90 cent resistors, a $3 chip, $3 B/B, $6 metal box, $2-3 D/B adapters, $4-5 D/B cable.

Just a matter of hooking the diodes on the current source, and have them relay through the data signal.

Well I called both of my local Radio Shacks and they don't know how to read a schematic. Can someone just tell me what I need to get. I can put it all together. I just can't read it

Transmission: T56, T5
Axle/Gears: 3.42 Stock ZT, 3.42 Open
Single Transistor ALDL Circuit:
2N2222A transistor (59c, qty 1)
5pk 10kohm resistors (99c, qty 1)
Male 9-pin D-subminiature connector, solder on style (qty 1)
D-subminiature plastic housing shell (qty 1)
Add for Two Transistor ALDL Circuit
2N2222A transistor (qty 1)
a diode
small printed circuit board, no connecting traces
I have no idea what you'd need for a MAX232.. I think the two-transistor is just dandy... but for the 82-89 V6, all you need is the one-transistor setup. Total cost, about 5 bucks

i just build the simple cable.... two resistors. one transistor, power is pulled off the computer....
i just make this one:
