The resonator is that big ugly thing that has the exhaust tip welded to it the sticks out the back of the truck. There’s a band clamp where it goes up and over the rear suspension that I removed and replaced that section with a 30 degree bend and straight pipe. Go to 3rd gen forum and look for “2016 side exhaust exhaust” thread. All my pics are in there for ya!
What did you do to the expy today

I like it, looks good. A lot more subtle than the factory exhaust which hung kind of low to be coming straight out the back.

That is A LOT of spacer and will put A LOT of extra load on your hubs. That negatively affects your load carrying capacity and towing. Why do you need that much spacer?
Cause its Gonna look super sweet on the rig especially with his current set up.
I Don't tow nothing and the only load it sees is maybe a deer in the back. [emoji16][emoji16]

The heated seat buttons were acting funny and seat a/c-heat wasn’t working. A little research led me to the harness ground going into the dscm burning out. Checked mine: sure enough all melted. Further reading indicated I could purchase a replacement harness connector for $36 plus shipping and splice it in. New harness connector had an additional female pin right next to the notorious burnt ground that was spliced into the same ground wire.
Pulled the dscm and verified it wasn’t cooked. Used the dremel to clean up the pigtail connector (almost looks brand new). Dug through the spare parts bin and found an old harness with same size female pin, went ahead and pulled 2 of them out (just in case) and cut one off with about an inch of wire left on it. Had to do a little “persuading” to get the pin into the existing pigtail. Then I cut the ‘burnt’ ground wire the same length as the added pin wire. Stripped all 3 wires and used an avionics splice (a special heat shrink non-crimp connector with a solder ring that melts inside the heatshrink). Buttoned it all back up and everything works again.
Took me about an hour and cost almost nothing to make it good as new!

I wonder if that's what wrong with mine.
The heated driver seat use to work good, now it's getting slower to heat up. Idk about the passenger seat as it never gets used.

Ummm yea I didnt notice it earlier but it said -14, the LCD display is wavey when a camera is looking at it.
Well got the 2" wheel spacers installed. Definitely pushed the tires out more than I had thought but still looks good and aggressive thou.
But it required a lot more cutting of the wheel well than I thought.
So yeah this isn't something that any mall crawlers gonna want to do.
Only us ReDnEcKs would do this modification.
But if u got a 3.5/2.5 lift and sitting on 35's if you wanna push ya wheels out 2"s more for a aggressive look/stance then be prepared to cut your fenders back about 2 1/2 more inches..lol
But to me it was worth it.
