    Mystery Noise

    Make sure every part of your brakes is put in right and lined up properly. Even if you've got new brakes, little things like bolts, clips, and shims could be off or even missing, causing noise. I'd say give everything a good once-over to make sure it's all snug and in the right place.

    Got awful smell inside Tahoe

    Based on what you're saying about that funky smell, it sounds like mold or mildew might be lurking somewhere in your ride, maybe hiding under the seats or carpet where you haven't given a good scrub yet. Sometimes, even a little water leak or just the air being too damp can trap moisture and...

    01 Shutting off no crank, no start.

    Check the simple stuff. Make sure those battery terminals are clean and snug. Sometimes, if they're not, it can mess with how your car behaves. Then, give your battery a quick check-up with a voltmeter or battery tester to see if it's in good shape.

    Brake Pad Monitor

    I'd guess that some cars, especially newer ones, might have sensors that keep an eye on the brake pads. Since your car is pretty new, you might have one of these.

    New Hankook Dynapro ATMs Installed by Previous Owner - Should I Change My Tires?

    I'd try out your current tires on different roads, especially highways, since that's where you really notice road noise and comfort. If the ride feels too bumpy or you hear a lot of noise, it might be worth getting tires designed for smoother rides on roads. But if they seem okay to you, I'd...

    I'd recommend swapping out the stock rubber bushings for polyurethane ones. It really helps with better handling and responsiveness.

    Seat belt bolt part #?

    33 ft/lbs sounds like a reasonable torque for a seat belt bolt, but it's always best to check your vehicle's manual or service docs to be sure. You don't want to over-tighten or under-tighten these bolts because it could affect safety. So, I would definitely stick to what the manufacturer...

    SOLVED - ABS light on after new front hub assy install(both sides)

    MOOG is usually a solid brand, but sometimes you can get a bad part. If the hub bearings aren't made right or they have a flaw, it might mess up the built-in ABS sensors. If I were in your shoes, I'd check the output from each sensor while spinning the wheels to see if the readings are off.

    Best Dash mat?

    I'd go for a mat that's made of a non-reflective material—it helps cut down on glare.

    Which brand of struts do you recommend for 2015 Yukon with Magneride?

    For cars with MagneRide, like your Yukon, the struts are usually made by companies that specialize in high-tech suspension systems. GM, which owns GMC, often sources MagneRide parts from Delphi or BWI Group. These suppliers create struts that are designed to work seamlessly with the vehicle's...

    Problems after replacing hub assembly

    If you're hearing new noises and the car pulls to one side or screeches at a certain speed right after getting the hub assembly replaced, it could be a problem with how the new part was installed. Maybe the hub assembly wasn't put in right, or something else got messed up during the installation.
