Front parking assist adds nothing to the value of the vehicle. 

We're both right on this point!   It doesn't add value to you and that is why you're trying to eliminate this feature.  I would not consider a used vehicle that has options DIY eliminated unless it was priced less than a comparable stock version.  You may end up finding that fixing the sensors will be less problematic than getting rid of them!  Good luck with your project.

Wait, there are fuses to disable rear parking sensors?  Now I need to pull out my manual and see if I missed this option on my '09.  I swear I looked before and couldn't find fuses for those annoying things.  Randomly decide to turn themselves back on.

Ya having something not working devalues but having the feature adds no book value. I talking about unplugging a harness. It can just be plugging back in. If I black it out and put a bumper on it that does not have the sensors it would be aliminating the feature and unless someone looked at the rpo codes they would not even know the truck had it. Or do all LTZ trucks have it?. Eaither way if i traded it in it wouldn't change the book price. Being blacked out would increase the personal value more then the deleted front sensors.

Book value is a bad way to determine anything but a very baseline. What you want and other people want is very different. If you say xxx truck had park assist up front and xxxxxx truck didn't and everything else was identical why wouldn't I buy front park assist? It's an easier sell. You have an issue and instead of whining about it online you should figure it out. You said you bought it used so maybe it was crashed and you don't know a body shop screwed up the repair. Do something about it or sell the truck.

The fuse goes to other stuff too so that's not an option. I was hoping someone on here heard of a tsb with a common problem and fix. I quess that's not going to happen. Something must be wrong with mine but must not a common problem. I'll look into it but unless there is a reprogram I'm not paying to get it fixed I'll just unplug it.

figures thanks

Found this in another thread, more fun stuff to try:

The front and rear sensors are taken offline by removing the OBS DET 15 amp fuse in the right hand dash fusepanel. The key must be off and the driver's door open, to ensure sleep status during fuse removal. Unfortunately, this will disable both front and rear, as they are in the same module.
Trucks with rear only sensors are disabled the same way.

I'm thinking you have a sensor going crazy. Wife's pilot would do that occasionally, but I was never concerned with fixing it.

      Light Up the Trail From Above: 50" PRO for the Hummer EV

      By mandrautomotive · Posted

      Hey everyone,   For anyone looking at roof-mounted lighting for the Hummer EV, we wanted to share our M&R Automotive 50" PRO Roof Light Bar for the 2022+ GMC Hummer EV.   The curved 50" bar sits close to the windshield rather than sticking way up above the roofline. The mounting position is designed to keep the setup relatively streamlined while minimizing wind noise and maintaining full use of the factory windshield wipers.   A few details:   50" curved PRO light bar Fits 2022–2026 GMC Hummer EV Spot + driving beam pattern TIR optics White main beam Amber DRL backglow Approximately 15,410 measured lumens through the lens Mounts to factory accessory locations No cutting or drilling required Wiring runs down the A-pillar toward the AUX connections Designed to minimize wind noise Lifetime warranty Off-road use only     The 50" is an interesting middle ground for anyone who wants the visibility and mounting position of a roof bar without stepping all the way up to the larger 60" setup. For the Hummer EV owners here, would you go with the 50" for the lower-profile look or step up to the full 60"?

      Yeah, I've given up years ago with that! I was able to load a few when I first joined the site sometime around '07. Then after maybe 20 pics, it said I exceeded the limit. Now every pic I try to post says I've "exceeded 1mb".   ONE MB??? That's Windows 95 ******, lol!!

      I get the same results with pictures. Then I figure it out. Then I forget. Screw it.

      I guess I'm the only one on this forum who can't get effing pics to load here! Do you have to resize them to post, or am I just blocked from uploads?   I have the same luck with automotive electronics ... but this is the ONLY site on the net that I have this problem!   I'd post pics of what I'm working on ... but I CAN'T! 🤬       Just fabbed up the kickdown cable (had to extend the cable mount WAAAY out from the throttle shaft to get a full pull), and parts arrived for the fuel lines on the 940 carb conversion project. Should be able to drive this thing by the end of the day. If not for work, I'd have had this thing done SIX weeks ago.   Got the jetting sorted out last week. Had a real bad tip-in bog that I couldn't seem to correct. Friggin float height was over 11mm too HIGH! eBay purchase, so no wonder everything is screwed up right out of the box! I ended up with a larger dual-squirt accelerator pump jet anyway instead of the single. Also moved the 70 primary idle jet (4 sizes too big out of the box) to the secondary idle circuit, and installed a 57 in the primary. Runs great on the fuel bottle!    Still using the computer for ignition. Going to drive it first and see if I want to go through the project of installing an intermediate shaft with a distributor drive gear, so I can install a block-mounted distributor and run points, 100% computer free. I should do that anyway just from a simplicity / reliability / tunability standpoint. The electronics left me stranded last year a couple times! I can't tweak the timing to my liking right now because of the computer. Tried twisting the cam-driven distributor already ... and the damned thing just reverts back to where it was! That's infuriating. But if it runs well enough I might save that for next season.   Just driving it in and out of the shop to work on other projects, it feels 1,000% more responsive with the carburetor. Also fires MUCH faster when cranking. Can't wait to drive it and see if I got more than 114 ponies, lolol.   Hopefully these don't go 404 like the last post ... https://postimg.cc/gallery/MjhrmZS   Seems like that site went back to dial-up internet! Maybe they'll fix that some day ...
