Yup, answering tech privately defeats the purpose of a website.
That's more a telephone thingy.
I don't consider the members here as "ordinary" diesel folk, there is a very high percentage of hardcore enthusiasts here, perhaps higher than any other diesel site.
I answer lots of questions on the phone, lots via PM, and many of the questions are all the same. Having them posted on a board helps more. But when I'm getting ready for a race, I don't have as much time as I'd like to help others.
Hopefully after Bonneville, things will quiet down, and I get to do more.

PS - Another thought. The majority of calls I get, seven days a week, are from diesel shops, or those who sell tuning to others. Few are my customers. I answer all questions to the best of my ability regardless. You might be surprised who has called for help, but that is private. But it does make me wonder why they don't call who sold them the parts.
I dont know how to use the scan tool at all, I need help setting up the gauges and selecting pids
This is off the top of my head my laptop is not in front of me, but this is correct to my recolection
Open scan tool, file open dash board, duramax imperial LB7-LLY. Duramax imperial LBZ for the LBZ's. Then you select your pids, you want to log (if you are logging). Click on the green dot and you will connect. Gauges should be running.
What are you tryin to do? Are you after logging, or just the dash board?

How do I know which PIDs to select there are like 200 of them and they are so repetitious

What I said will get you the dashboard. As for selecting pids, it is an icon at the header for EFI, says PIDS. Damn i wish I had my laptop here in my office i could help you out more.
i guess what I need is a good solid list of pids to log and I dont really understand the channel thing. Is there anything I should add other than the usual, Vane position for example.

You can load the Duramax pid which has actual fp, pw, mph, rpm, desired fp, and lots others
yea i did that, I just want to know how to log vane position and other things, also can I remove egt from the dashboard and add actual fuel pressure.
