Default Silly tow haul question

For whatever reason I guess I have gone full stupid. Anyone care to explain how to get the truck to hold gears under a certain speed it tow haul so I don't have to manually command It? Trucks an 01 with a 4l60e, have hp tuners and I understand it I'm just having trouble with this for whatever reason so if someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it!

Ps. I tried to search but couldn't find what I'm looking for...

In HPT tow haul is typically called performance mode. Some applications call it pattern Y vs pattern X, etc. On an older vehicle like that you just need to increase the part throttle upshift speed. Depending on the software, it may not do exactly what you want it to because there are some clamps for hardware protection and safety that come in and override desired shift behavior. For example, it's not going to let you drop it into 1st at highway speed because it will over speed the engine.

It also changes TQ converter lockup procedure. So that will make it limit what it will let you do.
