Already started on the PBR this morning? :bestest:

 

My Crew 2WD 09 was involved in a crash past year, I teared the whole front end and no sensors there, feel free to fab your custom stuff.

 

Ralph's correct the front supplemental inflatable restraint sensors are mount in the lower radiator support.

 

What’s that middle wire run to sos can’t find out anywhere

 

^^^my man is there anything you don´t know about our trucks?? :lol: amazing!

 

Thats why hes a moderator lol

hit a pole doin round 15mph last month. sensors never went off. like said above they are back behind rad support. i hammered my bumper back to driveable with a 10lb sledge and didnt even disconnect em. have fun

 

Damn poles... they're always popping up out of nowhere.

I pretty sure that the seats have sensors in them. If your not sitting in the seat the bags won't deploy.

 

Do have a design yet for your bumper? if so, can you post some pictures.

 

are the sensors impact (getting crushed) or g-shock triggered?

 

I would guess.... Impact...But...????

 

I've always wondered that. like even with my BullMaxx, if I hit something, does it pop or do I eat steering wheel?

 

GM sensors are inertia sensors not impact sensors. The air bag will inflate only if the impact speed is above the system's designed "threshold level." If your truck goes straight into a wall that doesn't move or deform, the threshold level is about 14 to 18 mph (23 to 29 km/h). If you strike something that moves or deforms, such as a parked car, the threshold level will be higher. Inflation is determined by the angle of the impact and the vehicle's deceleration.

The air bag system is described in detail in your owner's manual.

so if I read that right, its shock, not crushed. good to know for those with aftermarket steel bumpers too

 

There actually a lot going on, but very basically the front sensors act as an accelerometer.
