Took a sawzall to the 'resonator' this morning for a modest sound improvement. I put it in quotes because this thing was basically the same size as the muffler on my old HHR.

2 3/4" ID piping is next to impossible to find local. 14" stainless magnaflow turndown tip on order, should be here in a few days.

Installed aFe rear diff cover while changing the fluid. I had already swapped out the panhard with the Spohn high clearance one so there was plenty of room…

Map sensor left the chat with prejudice
2x P2227, 2x p00c7
replaced the sensor and all the live data seems to be correct have to wait and drive it a few days to see if the evap sets ok
right now it has permanent codes until it passes

So shiny haha I needed this damn thing like a year ago my rear diff cover sometimes scrapes on my gm track bar
qa1 used to make a curved one I have on my 2012. beware of those sphon poly bushings they do not hold up. I had to replace them on my control arms because they basically split apart. the ones they use are not solid thru, it is a 2 piece short cap with the metal sleeve in the center for the bolt.
I took the control arms off after replacing the bushings because I could feel them failing again after a short period.
pretty weird feeling when the vehicle is stopping/accelerating, took me a good while to figure out what the cause was. Almost made me sick to my stomach like being on a carnival ride.
I don't think you will get the same feeling from the panhard bar but if you start noticing the rear end swaying or side to side wheel movement that would be from the bushing failing. I would check that bushing probably every 6 months. they use the same exact bushing on a LOT of their things they sell and they do sell replacements fairly cheap but I was just not satisfied with there product anymore, unfortunately there are not a lot of options out there for a curved panhard bar.
the rear axle is floating, and the panhard bar controls the left/right movement.
the reason for the adjuster is pull the axle back into alignment when the vehicle is lowered.

New tail lights, I like these quite a bit better as they are brighter and instant on. The reverse lights are also way brighter and they cost 50$ on amazon. Quality is excelent!

Also installed some 6 piston brakes, this big girl never had good brakes and I guess all GM trucks suffer from the same thing, small brakes heavy vehicle. These things are 410mm compared to the stock 330mm.

None of that, I changed the programming in the BCM to disable the bulb out warning,so no hyperflash, but if a bulb goes out it wont alert me. All lights work as before and the best part is I can run whatever LED bulbs or Tail light changes with no issues.

THe way I got the BCM changed is through AutoSync G2.
