Four high is shift on the fly. Four Low requires a stop and shift to neutral. The owners manual has the procedures. It is available electronically if you don't have the paper manual.

You will find the link in a Sticky at the top of the Stock Crew Cab section: My GMlink ( downloadable owner's manual )

Follow the last link and submit your email address to sign up. Then you have access to an owners manual for all your GM vehicles.
