    rock04max, welcome and Happy Thanksgiving Day...

    To read calibrations from PCM:
    - make sure vehicle battery has full charge,
    - power laptop from non-vehicle source,
    - connect cable/interface to vehicle and to laptop,
    - turn ignition key on,
    - start tunetool,
    - go Flash->Read Calibrations,
    - set controller type,
    - press Start,
    - wait until reading finishes,
    - turn ignition key off, and leave it off for at least 15 seconds,
    - acknowledge the box that says turn ignition key off for at least 15 seconds,
    - go File->Save Tuning File and save the file,
    - exit the tunetool,
    - save the tuning file in several safe places (CD, USB fob).

    Then offline from the vehicle, open the saved file with the tunetool, goto the Transmission Calibation segment, goto Shift at VSS, you will see Upshift and Downshift folder, look at the tables in there.

    You may want to read the tunetool/scantool use manual pdf's, they have lots of useful info.

    Cheers,
    Joe
