Hey all. I’m in Colorado Springs and recently bought a 2009 Corvette base auto. Engine is stock except for an upgraded radiator. Has upgraded suspension and aftermarket wheels. Looking for some tech help with a code I keep getting.

Welcome to the Forum, Tim, and congratulations on your C6!
I would encourage you to post your question in the C6 Tech section at https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-2005-2013-14/.
Lot of great members with helpful info there that almost certainly can assist you with this.
When you post the question, be sure and indicate the code you are getting.
Unfortunately, the C6 is not like the C5 where you can pull the code from the DIC and get some lead with where/what the problem is. I believe it will take a Tech 2, or other hand held tuning device such as Diablosport.
On the rare chance that you have a code no one else has encountered you could try doing an on-line (Google) search; enter the code and see if anything shows up. You may also try taking your car to Advance Auto, AutoZone, PepBoys, (whatever is in your area). Typically they will have a scanner that can read the code through your OBD port.
Best wishes with this.
