Question reverse backup sensors

Anyone put any aftermarket reverse backup sensors on their truck. I had a 2003 F-250 that came factory installed and got real used to them. Now i just purchased a F-350 diesel however it does not have the reverse sensors. I am very leary of drilling into my nice chrome bumper to install them. Anybody put other versions on their trucks? Thanks Jeff

I put one on my 99 model. I got it off ebay for 40.00 and works good. You have to drill the bumper for the sensors with the model I got. Try to find one that mounts onto the the bumper and not have to drill. It will save allot of time for the mounting of the sensors. The only problem is the control box and wires going to the sensors is not long so I had to mount it to the bottom of my bed. I installed it in a 4inch pipe with 2 ends on it. Also I got the 4 sensor model and dont really know if you need that. I imagine a 2 sensor or the license plate version would work fine. If I have the tailgate down it will actually pick that up and say im on something.

You can look in my gallery and see the sensors mounted to the bumper. Had to use Pcv gromets to hold the sensors in place.
