    Well why didn't I think of that. Thank you very much Paul. Keeps a 70 year old out of the Florida heat when tinkering with the car.

    Ok I have a 03 Silverado 2500HD with the 6.0L and 4L80 Trans. So I have the LS1B. I am trying to follow the Calc.Vet process and come to the PIDs part. Of course the Tutorial was written with the 7.5 PID list. So I build my Calc.Vet.pid as the tutorial describes in 7.5 and save it. Now I can not save it to my V2. The "Program selected PIDs into the Flashscan" function is not enabled. How do I get the PIDs to the V2? I know use 8.0 but the tutorial is written with the PID labels and such in 7.5. They are not the same in 8.0

    The option "Program selected PIDs into the Flashscan" is for FlashScan V1 black box logging.

    For FlashScan V2 black box logging you need to use the V8 option: [F5: BBX]->[F2: Scan].
    The documentation for BBL starts on page 37 of the V8 Reference Manual: Help->Documents->EFILive V8 Reference Manual.pdf

    To copy your PID selection from V7 to V8...
    You can highlight the PIDs in V7 and select the menu option "Edit->Copy for export to V8". Then in V8, right click in the green section of the V8 BBX Scan window and select Paste.
    That process translates PID names that have had been changed between V7 and V8.

    You can't use V8 to do any tuning like Calc.VET because V8 maps are not available yet.

    Regarding setting up V2 BBx pids, also see this: Setting-up-a-FSV2-from-scratch

    Will V8 trim any PID which is feels does not work for your vehicle? The reason I ask is because I tried to copy 24 and only 17 were pasted.

    This is what is suggested to use and I tried to copy

    Looks like these are the PIDs which did not copy and I can't find them in V8
