2000 + SSEi'* do not have a performance shift button. It is always in normal mode.
The following is a direct response from DHP.

Pin 21, that'* good to know. I will connect a switch to mine.
....he blew up his trani.....see guys, another trani problem. Better install a cooler.

I also found that an extra wire has to be installed to the harness on pin 21 and grounded for the performance shift. Did you just run the wire straight to ground or did you put it on a switch so it would shift like factory when you wanted it to? Any help would be great as I am just getting into this and I am messing with a brand new tranny (mine blew up last week... )

SilverBullet, is this pin 21 only after a custom pcm or is it for stock too?
and what does the quote refer too? a prior post?

I believe it is only after the custom pcm is installed because it is a special programmed feature.
I thought there was nothing to change with the shift pattern on the 2000'*, that it is already in performance mode
It is definitely not already in performance mode.....but maybe GM would like you to believe that.

I was told 3 week lead time. i'm keeping my original PCM for dealer trips so I can drive until it arrives.

10 days delivery was stated.
Don't forget that Zoomer is a GTP expert but he doesn't know Bonne'* that well.
.....or at least the guy that answers Zoomers e-mail.....I really wonder if Zoomer himself actually answers the E-mail questions. :?:
Let'* face it, not too many guys who buy Bonnevilles mod them, so the aftermarket is not that familiar with them....yet.
Like Will once said.....squeal like a guinea pig.
I'm already out $400. on that Jet Module that only works with non supercharged 3800'*.
