I drove my truck 30 miles then started the live data log. drove another 30 miles then. down loaded the data to my computer then let dslogredux analyze it and it tells me to set the injector slope to -6. so i changed it. drove another 30 miles. then started the log again. then it said to change it up 1%. so i change it to -5 on the injector slope. drove it another 30 miles
started another log. them it tells me ot change it down 2%. So I change it to -7. drove it again. then it tells me ot change it up 1%. so i change it to -6.
so now i am right back where i started. drove it again now it tells me to change it down 1% to make it -7. I have allready done that. can any one tell me what is going on and can any one help.

When I sent my u7198 in for an upgrade, several months ago, I paid an additional hundred bucks, (plus), and am not the least bit satisfied. I actually thought that while all of you happy lil gearheads were talking about "No DODs", PIDs, stickys, and all sort of other neat stuff, I was going to get my unit back and be just as happy, and COOL, as the rest of you. Boy am I disabling my little smily faces, or what? My 2000 Silverado with the (boring), stock engine, tires, intake, camshaft, headlights, windshield, and gas mileage, was doing pretty good using the predator. But with all you happy chaps signing on board with your 2.5 second quarter miles, and increased mpg, made me want that upgrade really bad. You see, I'm a very insecure little weenie who has to drive a 2000 pickup, and not some suped up GTP or Monte 06, or anything else really COOL. Now, my truck does have increased HP, (at least I think that's what Jonny, Mikey, Johan, and DICK call it), but I cannot seem to get it set so that it performed like it did before I sent it in. I set the fueling, week after miserable week, and yet I cannot get the same combination of mileage and performance I had before. And the fueling plan doesn't stay set. And, I had to go out and spend another hundred on a code reader eraser tool, (by Autoscan), which according to one of these postings is only half that much for one of you really NEAT guys. Why did I need that, you might ask? Because the scanner I previously used came back from the Diablo upgrade program unable to do what it did when I sent it in for a hundard dullers upgrate! It no longer erases on my 2000 Chevy Blazer, which used ta werk. But then when I goes and tells Mikey or Jonny or one of the COOL fellas bout my perdickamint he starts setting me straight on my nomenclature. You see, I don't usually sound like Waaaard Burton, but I doesn't wanna screw up the nomenclature anymores, soes i just wants ta complain a little, see. Cuz up here in hicksville MN, we don't sound like ya'all and we don't know OBDs and CANs and cants. Oh, am i the only one who doesn't have an AFR setting on his tool? Well, I'm damn fast getting a WART on mine. If you're all so damned smart then why don't you write a program that actually does my LOG some good? Your posts are about as bad as yer service! And don't even think about telling me where to buy my fuel, that wasn't part of the deal when I bought this thing. Nor was going to school for auto mechanics; but has any one of you been able to get all the way through both pages of the instruction manual? Pretty nice, ha?

I am smart but i don't write programs . I dont' know why your shit don't work. I don't build them. But the programer does work. My truck runs great.
but there are going to be some problems just like any other program for your computer. I just asked for some help . I want to get my fuel right. I don't want to break my engine and want to get better gas mileage. I did not ask for some one to take there anger out on me cornfead.
p.s. do you want some cheese

Your LTFTs look pretty darn good to me. Might drop -1% to get bank 1 closer to zero.
Drive it for more than 30 miles. Try driving it like a week or two before logging again. Get some miles on that thing!
Log ...adjust....drive awhile. If you keep going like you are you will continue to chase your tail on these LTFTs.

and also weather screws with LTFTs (temp, humidity) try to log on the same road, with same weather.
