    Anyone out there have this bumper installed? It says that it will deactivate the TSS sensor. What exactly does that mean? I don’t use the adaptive cruise control...i always deactivate it. Would I only be losing the “auto” brake feature if you run up on someone too quickly?

    You would lose any of systems controlled by the front TSS sensor, so yes no adaptive cruise or any per collision braking.

    Disconnect it from the sensor and see what happens? I don't know if they will light up your dash, not allow truck to start etc

    The bullnose bumper actually does not affect the TSS , a couple guys here have them and have had no issues

    I have had zero issues with TSS. The top of the bar is just above the TSS sensor in the grill.
