Hey
Driving home tonight I hit a coyote. it's dark so it's hard to tell if any other damage but it looks like the only things was the pre collision sensor came loose. I'm going to look at it better tomorrow but thought I'd ask if anyone knows if it just snaps off/on or possibly be clips broken?
Tried to snap a couple of pics but not the greatest.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!!
Thanks

Thats wild!
The skid plate on the front of the Tremor flattened it with no scratch, but the jolt of it knocked the censor loose. I told the wife I want an off-road bumper and the damn thing missed my replacement excuse!

If you have Adaptive cruise control then the sensor may have to be re-calibrated for it to operate correctly . It may also affect the emergency braking distance . I just adjusted mine myself after a few test runs down the hwy each time . There is one bolt that moves it up/down and one side /side.

edit : I was thinking there was a side to side adjustment but apparently that is done thru software . I didn't have to adjust anything except the up/down to get mine working correctly after lifting the front .

Thanks!! I'll keep an eye on that for sure. I got it back in place with a little finagling so it may definitely need some adjustments.

Same for me with the skid Plate. No other issues by the look of it.
