What is the go-to recommendation for F45 shock simulators? I have reached out to several shops in my area and they either don't have a TECHII or they just don't want to do the job. My usual shop said if I get the simulators, they will install.

You can do the job with any bidirectional scan tool…it doesn’t have to be a Tech 2…where are you located in Jersey ??

Former co-worker of mine owns an AAMCO in Hazlet and he could probably do it but don’t know if you want to make a trip to exit 117 on GSP…98.99% of shops use a bidirectional scan tool these days so they can do it…I can do the delete either with my Tech 2 or Autel.

Hey yes whats the cheapest bidirectional scan tool that can turn off f45? Also whats most affordable sensors? Need to turn mine off as well or use simulators. Im in san antonio texas if anyone knows someone that wouldnt charge and doing a forum member good help. It for my 99.
I swapped to base shocks as the f45 shocks were bad. He left the shock valves plugged in so it wouldnt go into reduced power.
