Default MN/WI - help F45 delete.

Hello ~
I have a 1999 C5 Coupe- Live in Blaine, Lino Lakes area, MN

Removed my F45 shocks and height sensors now I need the F45 RPO delete procedure.
Problem is I can't seem to find anyone with a Tech 2 or a diagnostic scanner that will work. I have contacted 3 stealership and they told me $180.00 - $200.00
I also tried a local tuner shop, they wanted $250.00+
Called 6 Automotive repair places and had a appointments with 2 of them but could solve my problem.
I looked into the F45 Suspension Simulator Kits and not a big fan and also pricey. - might have to go this route??

Bottom line is there anyone in my local area that has a Tech 2 or scan tool that can help me remove my F45 RPO "Service Ride Control"
Willing to pay just thought why not try here and see if anyone can help me out and saver a few bucks?
If not the stealership is my only choice.

Thanks in advance

Have you tried John at Boos Performance? He specializes in c5s. He is north of Blaine but not too far.

If you have everything still on the car (except the shocks) you can use 10ohm 10watt resistors from Radio Shack to fool the system.. Those sim's are the same thing and a waste of money
