I've been researching the K19 Magnetic Ride system and the shocks in particular. In reviewing the Delco/TDS information for 2023 Stingray and Z06 I find some information I don't understand. I was under the impression these shocks used magnetorheological fluid like the C7. When I read the overview, it doesn't say that.
it says: 'The shock absorber actuators are integrated within the shock absorbers. The electronic suspension control system uses a proportional valve that is located in the external bypass of the displacement module.
Adjustment is performed by current control. The current range is 0–5 A. The actuators respond to commands of the K19 Suspension Control Module within milliseconds.'
2019 C7 Says this: 'The shock absorbers are filled with magnetorheological fluid. Current is applied to electromagnetic coils within the shock causing the fluid to become more or less viscous. The more viscous the fluid is, the stiffer the shock absorber becomes.Adjustment is performed by current control resulting in instantaneous change to the viscosity of the fluid. The current range is 0–5 A. The shock absorbers respond to commands of the suspension control module within milliseconds.'

Anyone know anything about this???
Bypass module = piston
Actuators = The electronic device(s) that input the commanded impedance/ current or "force" necessary for the required magnetic field for the MRF to change viscosity and deliver the commanded stiffness as per MR controller programming.
