Aftermarket Bumper Effects on Engine Cooling

[HBTFD]

I can confirm that the sensor works just fine with a aftermarket front bumper.

Is the radar box relocated under the bumper?

I don’t have that fancy shit on mine but I do still get the collision warning alert which would lead me to believe all of that would work if I had the higher package in the same location. I meant the collision sensor, I should of been more specific

HEFTYFAB Works great. No issues with blocking anything.

In the middle of the red area is the sensor used in emergency braking and optional cruise control distancing feature. It blocks the intercooler. I’d worry more about blocking emergency braking with an aftermarket bumper.

The pre-collision system uses a camera behind the rearview mirror. The ACC radar sensor is located behind the plastic cover in front of the intercooler and can be relocated if necessary.

There may be a vent beneath the winch, but it sure looks like it's blocking the "High Risk" area.

I assure you it is not, it’s a tunnel straight to the intercooler, zero temp issues in 5,000 miles

thinking of the fabfour premium winch capable bumper with a superwinch for my black diamond 2.7. I see the comments about cooling and effects on the radar / braking system. I do not have ACC. Does anyone have experience mounting this bumper and if so, any problems? will the collision braking system still work and do the airbags need to be recalibrated ?

I have this bumper, no problems.

Thank you. Just confirming — the pedestrian warning / braking system also works?

Haven't tried, not sure how to emulate it. I don't know why it would't work? What sensors does this system use? Parking sensors work just fine.

That rectangular plastic thing below the grill is some sort of sensor that I think houses the pedestrian and other obstacle collision avoidance

I could't find the sensor as it's behind the bumper (and as I understand always was there) but there are no any warning messages.

Thank you for that. I’ll purposefully block that area and see if any errors come up.

if good to go the only other concern would be airflow to the inter cooler. I think I can watch the temp gauges to see if it’s a problem. I’m waiting on a reply from the fab fours team about that too

Collision warning comes from the camera behind the rear view mirror. The sensor behind the bumper is for your ACC.

i have the dv8 MTO bumper; in addition to the front “screen vents” there are two very large openings on top of the bumper that together provide plenty of ventilation. I’m at 28k miles with about half of that while running the MTO.

I used their ACC relocation kit, which worked well. Parking sensors remount onto the MTO, and that was no issue, either.

Let me know if you find something. No problem with the temperature so far.
