I'm thinking your 100% right on putting it in drive 1 to control the shift , but if I remember correctly it always stayed in low gear ( drive 1 ) ever when it was in regular ( drive D ) . Maybe I'm just getting to darn old and can't recall this correctly . It goes into 4low just fine and all else seems OK . Thanks Ron , you need to get an automahtic , no really I wish the 04 was a stick .Thanks again !!!!!!!!!
Caddy , now that's a nice set of wheels , I grew up with caddys ,my father was a GM exec and we always had GM's but I broke the mold when I bought my first Ford at 14 ,it was a 57 starliner , man I almost became the only son to get booted out of the house ,just kidding.I like automatics, all my cars are automatics, just seems like all the 4x4 trucks I ever owned were manuals
My CTS has a SNOW setting for auto, it doesn't use 1st gear, you start off in 2nd which makes sense don't want that torque to start tires spinning.
I'm going to try that in the morning , I hope it's either raining or snowing in the morning. Thanks
You didn't read or understand the first post!I s'pose testing 4 low is good , but the torque is what you don't need in snow. If you have AWD , put in 4 High and D to keep wheel spin to a minimum.
I think I could hide my own Easter eggs, this year.
As Ron said just put it in Drive and go. I however would not use 4 low. It's only if your stuck. I shift into 4 low twice a year just to keep it working. I shift right back out of it.
That's all I was doing is testing it ,I'm not stupid ! I never had it shift up when it was in 4low and was just asking if it was suppose to up shift when in 4low because I don't recall it upshifting when I was off-road and going much faster than the other day when it shifted to 2nd and then abruptly dropped down to first gear . I hope you understand now.
by the way, the brakes will work REAL GOOD if you do try it.
