It is on a 2008 silverado 1500 5.3l with 4l60e when I would activate tow/haul i would only have first and second gear and then it would go to neutral if i let off of the gas,

And then when I accelorated it would rev up until second gear would engage and now it is doing it all of the time, weather i am in tow haul or not, i have replaced both computers and had them programmed and I have replaced most of the solenoids in the transmission and I have rep[laced the tps (throddle position sensor), when It was only doing it in tow haul i took it to a transmission specialist, and he said that the he was getting broken and incomplete codes, probably from the computer or a short, and then i replaced the computers and it has only gotten worse.

I have some advice for you that I see hasn't been offered yet. How about trying this:

1.) You'll need to get an inexpensive Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner like the one in the link/pics included. They're about $30 and work great requiring nothing more than your phone or anybtanlet, laptop life , etc. with Bluetooth capability. I've used it with iPhones and Galaxy Tablets, & Multiple Android Phones, a few laptops, Etc. These are very universal if you get the right type: I prefer the VeePeak OBD2 BLE Scanner.

2.) It plugs into your OBD2 Port and connects via Bluetooth. The VeePeak BLE OD2 Scanner does all that most of us will ever need, I've used it in a professional setting too and as my go to OBD2 Diagnostic Scanner, & checked Codes on Countless Vehicles with my iPhone primarily. You can leave these devices plugged in at all times with no issues/problems.

3.) Data from all of the individual sensors is shown in a dashboard format, a graph, or just numerical values.

4.) Use the data logging feature and drive it around to get some readings from the electronics.

5.) You'll need to show this data to someone who relay knows how how to read and decipher it, in person is great but technology makes this easier. You can easily just Email this data to a professional who is a known expert. I can reccomemd one in particular who is the real deal.

6.) Custom Tuners and Progammmers at Performance Shops all around are invaluable with situations Ike this. You've got to get the information from your truck to someone who specialize in GM Trucks which would be easily found, like Nelson Performance who are the Best of the Best or Close in any case, BlackBear Performane, or a similar specialist. There are a few others, but Nelson Performance will send you a data logging unit to use and you can just hook it up & drive around to capture the data, remove the device they provide and send it back to them or in many cases you just email the data to them and things move forward from there. If you have Scanner or data logging capability through any device that's even better!

7.) Call these guys @ Nelson Performance, or a similar business that specializes in GM Vehicles, these guys are Master CERTIFIED with decades of experience. Check it out!

Theyll get serious power gains for you and better hasn't mileage too while keeping everything "safe" and on your improvements that GM can't authorize as they'd be violating by strict epa and other similar laws. Talk to these geaeheads, you'll be pleasantly surprised!

If if this helps in an in any way please click the GREEN "Helpful" Icon! A 5-10 word review or recommendation would be the best way to let me know I'm doing a good job. Follow me form for oat effect And real answers to common issues mechanically, at home, electronics, firearms related issues and upgrades, etc.

Im not affiliated with anyone, any public or private's or entity, or anything mentioned- anything I reccomemd or mention is based on personal experience.

SOURCE: transmission tow/haul mode

Hi, the problem is when you are tilting the steering wheel all the way up it's putting to much tenstion on the wires that come outof your shifter that run to the tow/haul button. i am 99% sure your wires are disconected. rewire them and add some extra wire so next time there will be more slack in your wires.

I have a 1999 Chevy Silverado 4l60e transmission, every gear is neutral.

First make sure the fluid is full. If it is then you have internal problems. Possibly the linkage or oil pressure .

There is an icon showing in the speedometer area it looks like a trailer and the car is driving weird like it's in a low gear

That icon looks like the vehicle has been put into tow mode.
When towing or hauling a heavy load, you can activate this feature with a button on the steering wheel, stalks or dash. Activating this mode tells the on board computer to modify the shifting pattern that is better for towing a hauling a heavy load often restricting the gearbox to the lower gear ratios.
  1. The Tow/Haul Light will come on when the system is on.
  2. If the light flashed steadily, have the system serviced.

Adjust detent cable

There is no detent cable to adjust. Your transmission is probably a 4L60E which is electronic controlled by the computer. If it's not shifting into high gear then you need to take it to a transmission repair shop for analysis. 1st make sure you have the gear shift lever in 'D' and the tow haul button is not pressed in. Check your Instrument Cluster for the correct operation.

Tow haul on 2001 chevy silverado does not work

If the unit is getting the signal frim the pedal depression, it has to work. check that it's getting the signal when you depress the pedal. Check those connections, if all that is fine, the unit itself is faulty.

2000 gmc 4x4 it will not shift into 3rd gear or overdrive

There is a 3/4 clutch pack in the trans that when it fails you loose those two gears. There is nothing you can do other than to pull the trans and do an overhaul . I started rebuilding those back in 1982 when they first came out in the old 700r4. Even though the new 4L60E is all computer controlled, it is still doing the same thing.

If you tow with it and do not push the tow/haul button it will burn the clutches, especially if you are towing a large heavy load.

Sorry for the bad news
