I recently replaced all 4 of my autoride shocks with Bilstein 5100 shocks. To turn off the "Service Suspension" DIC message, I installed a resistor on each of the wires that used to connect to the Autoride shocks.

The resistors are: 3.9 Ohm 25 Watt 5% wire wound. I bought these on Amazon.

Here is where I prepped the resistors by soldering and heat shrinking some wire on to each side:20161216_164648.jpg

Then I cut the connectors off each wire that used to connect to the Autoride shocks and connected one resistor in each of the 4 corners of the truck. I heat-shrunk all of the connections to protect against water etc.

An example of the front driver side:20161225_150658.jpg

An example of the rear passenger side: 20161225_144325.jpg

Then I tucked them up into safe spots and zip-tied them to the frame.
This has successfully turned off the DIC message for me.

Thanks for posting info and pics for resistors deleting auto ride error message. Nice solder heat shrink work. It should last a very long time with that connection. Do you have a link to the resistors from amazon?

Did you pull any fuses? If you did, which ones?

I tried both ways and I still get the service suspension warning. I used these resistors, but I put one on the compressor too. I am gonna remove that one though, because since I did it, my lights are flickering.

There are fuses under the hood. Look up manual and locate fuses. Resistors only go on shock wires.

just in case... I have a 2001 Tahoe with autoride. Are the resistors the same ?

Greetings Juergen
