Opinions on Potential Hybrid Mods ...

[soulsea]

Shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot ...

I was just looking at the two bumpers and realized that the esky reverse sensors are bigger than that of the hybrid!!! Mine are 1.5" across the esky ones are 2" ... I'm going to need new sensors.

Does anyone know if those are interchangeable of if it requires massive parts swap?
Or do the sensors have extra material all the way around to plug the hole all the way?

I'm guessing this is what I need? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GM-F...el:Escalade&hash=item1e66f1a075#ht_2825wt_956

At least it looks like it's a plug and play replacement.

Take me to your dealer!!!

Be back soon ...

hmmm... never heard of that before? U sure its not just the housing? Does the hybrid have a completely different part number?

Okay so I'm at the parts dept.

******** gm makes things complicated sometimes.

The sensors are the same, that's the good news.
What is different is a little plastic circular trim that goes around the sensors.
It.s smaller on my truck's bumper than on the esky bumper.
Except that they have two different part numbers for two same parts. One is called "inboard" another "outboard" ... After a twenty minute conference of geniuses we sumized that what gm means by those terms are the inner and outer sensor hole bits. Wtf? Why can't they just say that and not use boating terms?

Any hoot, they'll be in tomorrow and we'll see if that works ... But then they have to get painted, so now a Monday install looks unlikely.

Has anyone heard from Felix?

Is he a dad?

More importantly, did he take a look at his bumper cover for me?
