Guys,

I installed a grill guard on the front of my 2017 Tahoe. However, now when I'm at low speeds, my parking sensors freak out, think that something is in front of me, and beeps nonstop until I get to around 20 mph. I can turn off the parking sensor all together, but that would eliminate me from having rear sensors active. Is there any way to turn off just the front sensors? Or what? Thanks in advance!

sounds more like the manufacture of the grill guard did not have it very well thought out, if they did not note that you may have sensor problems after installing. maybe they have a solution?

That’s a great idea, but the guard is a Setina guard, and I’d figure since PPVs have these setups, it wouldn’t be an issue on my truck

might have to relocate the sensors somehow then or have the front sensors disabled by the dealer would probably be the easiest way.

Ranch hand makes "parking sensor" friendly racks and all they do to achieve that is put stickers on the sensors that would detect the rack. That allows you to continue to use the outside sensors. Or so they say. ymmv

EDIT: I just realized I look like a shill since this was my first post. Just wanted to educate since I hadn't read that anywhere before speaking to them. Im sure other companies offer the same advice.
