A few weeks ago I was able to upgrade/add my oem front sensors to my truck, most LTs only come with backing sensors but not the front ones and thanks to Pgamboa for his harness and whiteautoandmedia.com for programming my parking sensor module I was able to successfully accomplish this upgrade. Here’s a few pictures.

- Factor the cost of a bumper with the sensor holes.
- (4) Sensors
- (1) Harness that connect all the sensor to the bumper junction.
- (1) Park Assist Module. This upgrade presumes you already have factory rear sensors.
- Module Programming
- Wiring from the bumper junction all the way to the module.

His might help give you an idea of the work involved.

By any chance do you know what size the holes in the bumper are for the sensors. I need to replace my rear bumper and my son got his hands on a new one without the holes. I'd like to be prepared ahead of time before removing my old one.

I don’t remember.. but they are not perfect circles either. They have notches in them.

I don't remember the exact size, but if you get a step bit, you can do this pretty easy...once you get the hole size, then you can file/grinding out the notch...I did this on a bumper that i can assure you is tougher to drill through that a factory replacement...if you have the right tools, this is pretty easy, just take your time and go slow...see pic

 

**Edit** since the steel on my bumper was thicker than the factory sheet metal bumper, I didn't grind the notch in the bumper, I took a razor blade and shaved off the notch on the sensor housing, and used automotive adhesive to keep it in place...worked like a champ...but if you use the factory bumper, a dremel will be able to grind a notch pretty dang easy...

How much does this upgrade overall cost?

About $200. I sold my factory bumper and broke even on the cost of the new bumper. The $200 covered the cost of the module, programming, bumper harness, and wiring.

Phil, Great video! Questions? Do you have the oem part numbers for the module? Also I looked up the harness you had in the video and it shows bumper without fog lights. Your bumper looks just like my 2018 z71 so I wanted to know if you have to retro fit that harness in anyway to work with the fog lights? With a 4" lift and 35' tires and I need the assist when parking this in tight places. I'm looking to do this right away. Thanks in advance.

Can the same be done to a 2014 SLE with rear assist? There’s a painted bumper for sale locally without the holes for cheap that I can pick up.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
