    not 100% sure, but I believe hot mode is #4 which happened while kicking down at WOT for me.

    Hot Mode is trans overtemp.

    You should not see this mode under normal usage.
    If you do, it's time for a trans cooler.

    So what modes do each number represent when logging shift mode? 4-7?

    Re: "Normal" and "Performance"

    I thought you were talking about the Hot, Normal Cruise, Perf shift mode tables on the
    editor.

    On the scanner, we are not done implementing that yet.
    In the mean time,


    4 = Normal WOT
    6 = Normal MPH/TPS
    8 = Perf WOT
    7 = Perf MPH/TPS

    Re: "Normal" and "Performance"

    So let's see, you are all saying the following (correct me if I am wrong):

    Normal = normal around town driving
    Cruise = highway driving, less than ~10% TPS
    Hot = refers to trans temp (as mentioned by Keith)
    Performance = heavy accelerating/towing, not to include WOT

    Correct? ???

    Re: "Normal" and "Performance"

    Normal = normal around town driving
    Cruise = When Cruise control is active
    Hot = refers to trans temp
    Performance = When Perf or Tow/Haul button on vehicle is active (Vehicle specific option).

    Hot is a transmission over-temperature self-
    protection mode, as I make it out. More
    conservative, probably allowances for thinner
    fluid, etc.

    Ive read posts regarding adding a pin to the PCM for enabling performance/tow haul mode in the PCM using a momentary switch. Is this mod available in the PCM on a 2001 Silverado 4x4 5.3 with an auto trans?

    Are there any good posts or FAQ's in tuning a trans for towing? Some good known tweaks to make for this truck?
