got it figured out!
Short story: There are two calc_pids.txt files. The one you need to modify is located in C:\Users\<username>\Documents\EFILive\V7.5\User Configuration
Long story: I put the two files you sent me into the folder on the c drive and noticed that the "pid LS1.pid" file didn't show up when I went to open in the scantool. I then looked carefully at the folder path the scantool was showing and realized there are identical files kept in the efilive folder kept in "My Documents". There's also another "User Configuration" folder in there identical to the one kept on the c drive under program files.
Thanks for the help!
