So I have a truck that automatically slows down if it comes up on another vehicle so why won't it engage the stop light so the driver behind me will know I'm slowing down , or am I missing something and the brake lights are turning on . I don't see the cargo brake light engage so I'm assume the rear brake lights are not coming on .

All the brake lights are on when the adaptive cruse applies the brakes. I've seen it, and others have too.
What I got had no shutter or vent wiring, I assume it was for a 5.0. I have a 3.5 TT.
OK so from my install, I used storkpkp's write up. And noticed a few things that may help others.
1. Check your parts BEFORE you start to tear apart your truck. So you Don't end up with the wiring issue I had.
2. on step 3-4 pull the wiring for the foglights off the bumper(if yours is mounted there)
Foglight wiring on back of bumper, also rear bumper mount Nut
3. on step 5 only remove 1 bolt from each side of bumper and mark mounting location with paint pen(much easier to reinstall)
Marked around nut, then marked bracket
On reinstall just align marks
4. If you don't have a E 5.5 reverse torx a 5/32 six point socket works equally well.
5. I used a digital angle gauge for step 13.
Using digital angle gauge, truck must be level beforehand
Great write up BTW. Thanks
Thanks for the hint, got a digital gauge like yours that arrived last night, I'm doing the install today, so I'll post when/if I run into an issue.

Man what's taking you so long to get yours installed. Oh that's right you came here to Missouri to see the eclipse. They just kidding hope all goes well. I use it a lot now that it's on my xlt.
This was a gigantic, ginormous, colossal pain in DA@$$....
Holy crap I'm never doing this again. Over 4 hrs just to do the hardware side.
Spent about an hour removing the headlamp trim (left lamps in situ) and entire grill. Made swapping out the harness an absolute delight. Spent 5 minutes replacing the harness, but about 30 mins trying to reconnect the goddamn **** driver-side fog lamp bulb and another 30 mins on the pass side. Sonsofbitches...
About an hour trying to fit the damn bracket and setting the RCC module, and about 30 mins to button everything up.
So now, shower, beers, order in wings and pizzas and sh*t and get ready for the fiasco that will be "pretty boy" v McGregor.
I'll do the programming later or tomorrow. I am beat.

Lol you must have really big hands...it takes more time to mount a tonneau cover than i took to do the front harness and sensor....
Another one in the bag. I got a DTC saying the CCM wasnt calibrated even after calibrating. Ended up clearing it the recalibrating a second time, and now all is well.
The notification isnt as loud as I thought it would be, but I like how it muted the stereo while it beeps for you to hear it. Nifty gadget. Now to test ACC over labor day.
