Got my vehicle back and the dealer said they couldn't identify the problem. They adjusted struts to see if they were the issue and then put them back.
On the way home no squeaks.
The dealer said that it could be an early sign of magna-ride failure but if they fixed it now it wouldn't be covered by the warranty....
Took my 'Burb to the dealer this morning to address a squeaky sound that happens during road imperfections on the highway. Crossing my fingers that it means something needs to be lubed.

It looks great. What is not going right? Maybe I can help you.
Basically, I'm stuck using USB-C for charging with a separate HDMI port for audio\video. The original hopes and dreams were to have a dock in the center console, with one single USB-C connection for charging, A\V, USB, etc. The problem is that there are very few docks that work with a Nintendo Switch and a Steam Deck\Ally\Legion\Laptop, the only one that really fits the bill has a male USB-C output. Due to USB-C's design, a female to female adapter (coupler) can't exist. It can ONLY pass power (not data), and only in one direction...so it will only pass power through with the cable plugged in one way. I guess a lot of the reasoning behind it safety. With a female to female adapter you can basically make a USB-C to USB-C cable as long as you want. Since they are carrying a significant amount of power to charge devices (PD power), the cables aren't rated to carry that kind of current over long distances. Worst case scenario there could potentially be a fire hazard, melting wires, etc.

Can you provide a video about this?

Maybe this weekend, but in short I wanted to hide this in the center console: https://a.co/d/bB3fl7H

Then plug it into this adapter:

In theory, this would make it to where I only had to plug in one USBC cable whenever I brought a game console(or laptop) into the Yukon. The problem is that second adapter doesn't work that way, and there isn't one that works that way. That second adapter will only work for charging, no data.

Edit: I also finished them last night. Had to modify my wireless charger's add-on harness so I wouldn't cut too many wires on the stock harness. I ended up only need to cut 2 of the stock wires in the entire project. Also, the power hungry USB-C charger is now on it's own circuit. Came out great!
