Default Ride Control shocks

If I replace my ride control shocks (2000) with standard shocks, can I add a module to take care of any codes that will be thrown.
Thanks for any help

You can solder in the appropriate resistors or buy a set of simulators that will prevent codes.

Or you can tune out the F45 as well. Any dealership with a Tech II can do it if you don't have access to one or own your own. Call up a few dealerships for pricing. Should be anywhere from $25-$100.

Patches is 100% correct. There are several ways to switch from your adjustable shocks to conventional ones.

Would you expect most dealers to have tune equipment?

They all generally have a Tech 2 diagnostic tool to service legacy Chevy vehicles. There are now clones available for considerably less than the authentic versions but I can't vouch how reliable they are.

I have a real Tech 2 I bought several years ago but that was an expensive purchase, even with the deep discount I got when I bought it. If you were closer, I'd update your car for you gratis. You may be able to locate someone who has one near you if you check with the local vette clubs.
