This was my Saturday;;; Swapped in an LS6 Valley Cover. Changed both Knock Sensors and the harness. Changed the oil pressure sending unit. Replaced all intake manifold/throttle body gaskets. Changed IAC sensor. Changed 3 out of the 4 o2 sensors. Changed oil/oil filter. Any finally, replaced my third brake light with one bought from the Parts Classifieds section. That was a LOOONG day for someone who is NOT a mechanic by any means.

And you'll keep breaking sway bar brackets until you get these:

Took it off the road for a while. Stripped it down to shortblock in the car, doing clutch, bigger cam, LS7 lifters (turns out I didn't already have them), Katech rod bolts, Double roller timing chain from WS6 store, studs and LS9 head gaskets

Replaced the Monsoon Sail Panel speakers that had been blown for about 3 years now.
After I installed them I turned up the volume and I could feel smile cross my face. Man, I've missed the tunes!
Got a pair of the OEM replacements for $101 shipped on Amazon.
Chose the free super saver shipping option (5-8days)to save $21 S&H and actually received the speakers in 3 days. Not too bad!
