Default Change Shock Absorber Technology?

I have read most of the threads on how to convert my '03 Anniversary Edition's electronic shock setup to standard shocks. However I have not found anyone with the proper programmer who is willing to do the reprogramming. Can some one point me toward some one who can do it right? I live in the Deep East Texas area, about 100 miles north of Houston.

I had to drive about 80 miles south to find someone who would do it on my 03 Anniv.

None of the 3 Chevy dealers in my area would do it.

Good luck!

Cant use simulators on 2003 cars with the F55 mag ride shocks. Your going to havwe to find someone with a tech2 programmer to remove that RPO code..maybe a local speed shop. Most dealers will not mess with it.

I'm not sure, but don't know why this wouldn't work with the F55 also..

Are there any tuners in your area? That is where I took mine to have it disabled.

I hav not found any local, other than Chevy dealer. He won't do it. The tuners I have found in Houston are not interested. I guess my last resort is to live with 80 mph limit and just get rid of them.

Its probably a drive but ENGLAND GREEN Performance in Houston will be able to do it. MAKE SURE that you call them. I have NOT been able to contact them since the flooding happened.
