Service ride control message
I recently removed my monoleaf front and rear and the shocks from my 2006 Corvette with Magnetic ride control and replaced them with coilovers. Big difference in ride and handling.
However now I get a message "SERVICE RIDE CONTROL". I took car to local chevy dealer and they said they are unable to access the bcm to disable the message.
Any ideas on how to get rid of the message permanently, I can reset it but it pops up again several minutes later.

You need to disable the F55 option with a Tech II. I did it last fall, not too difficult to do. Called around to local diesel shops and found one that would let me use theirs to do it.
Here is a link to a thread describing how to do it

Your location would help, since a lot of us have Tech II's, and it only take about 3 mins to shut the F55 system off in the BCM.
Skip to 2:27 and it covers how to use the the Tech II to shut off the F55 system in the car.
To add, if the car has been tuned, and someone locked the tune, it will prevent a Tech II to be able to communicate with the car. I bring this up since you said that the dealer could not get to the BCM to program out the F55 in it in your post. So if tune was locked, then need to get with the tuner to unlock the tune so a Tech II can be used on the car in the first place. If Tuner is not around, or don't have a clue how tuned and locked the tune, then gets ugly real quick.
Hence need to pull the ECM so it can be send off to be unlocked/cleared, OEM firmware for your Vin flashed back in the ECM and reinstalled back in the car with relearns done, then find a tuner to retune that car, and this time they do not lock the tune!!!!
Hence locked tune locks out the Tech II from working on the car in the first place, and that the last thing you want since the Tech II is used to diagnoses the entire car system in the first place
