F55 suspension delete...SUCCESS!
I have finally deleted my F55 MagRideSelect after changing to Bilstiens. The Tech 2 procedure for the F45 delete will not work for RPO F55 suspension. For F45 delete you just remove the module in the driver side rear and follow the Tech 2 procedure.
After more than a few phone calls, and some points in the right direction ( thanks DirtyHowie
) I got it to work for me. Andy at A&A Corvette was super. He gave me some great tips which ultimately lead to my success.
Here is the procedure I used.
1. Hook up Tech 2, turn car ON, make sure module in the rear is PLUGGED IN. Do Not unplug the rear module.
2. use Tech 2 to delete the F45 option ( F55 did not appear on the menu screen on the Tech 2, use F45)
3. Save new configuration.
4. Do not turn car off, do not remove Tech 2, go to the module in the rear of the car, unplug the grey connector( the widest one) leave the center plug in and the smaller black plug in.
5. Turn off car leave Tech 2 plugged in.
6. Remove remaining plugs from module in the rear of car.
7. turn car on to verify the " Max speed 80 mph" is gone.
8. unplug Tech 2 and put tools away.
I know this quite a bit different from the F45 procedure, and I talked to a lot of people and tried many different methods and tips. Some people may have done it differently and easier, but this worked for me, so if you get stuck, try this out. Also, call Andy at A&A Corvette. He REALLY helped me out.
Hope this helps somebody
Thanks

2003 Vette F55 Suspension Delete - Success
Just a quick note to tell you the procedure works. I have driven the car multiple time and short & long distances. No error messages have appareled and the car accelerates past 80 mph when needed.

Thanks for the update on this procedure. My F55 shocks are just about worn out with 71K on them. No warning messages but a soft rear and firm front suspension can make for an interesting ride when things speed up.
