Yep. I had my tuner pop out my CAGS eliminator and program the feature out using LS1 Edit.

I think they meant LS1edit -that is not the same as the dealer. I am not sure the dealer can or will remove skip shift. LS1 Edit is a very expensive specialized software that allow a ton of flexibility with teh car - it is usually specialty shops that have it. Again I am not sure that the dealer can not or will not make this change but I tend to doubt it.

A tuner can with LS-1 Edit, and also change out your fan turn on temps..
many things..I do not think a GM tech can turn off the cags as that was the trade off with the gov.so if a GM tech could turn them off that might defeat ever installing them from the factory..
good tuner..JOhn Rovner...TEAM ZR-1 ..he does not lock you out of your PCM.....which at least one other tuner does...that I know of.

I think you can turn off the shift light but I don't think you can edit the selenoid actuation. In other words you won't see the light telling you have to go to 4th but you will still have to shift to 4th!

At least that is what I remember when I got the car.
