I’ve got a 08 Tahoe 4x4 and there is a squeaking coming from the drivers side front wheel. I put new rotors and brakes on about a 2 months ago. About a month after I started getting a squeaking in the wheel, it does it mostly at lower to mid speeds, if you barely touch the brake pedal it goes away seems to do it more when turning to the left at low speed. Any suggestions?

If you didn't lube the slider bolts it's possible that you have worn out one of the pads on that side from the caliper sticking and it is the tattle tale letting you know you need new pads.

So I pulled off the wheel and caliper today and checked my pads there fine, and the slider bolts are lubed fine. BUT I ran in to bigger problem, I had to push the caliper pistons back in to get the caliper back on the rotor, after I done this I pumped my brakes up and I can’t get any pedal pressure and have no brakes. I did not mess with the bleeder screw or line to get any air in lines, just pushed the caliper pistons back in. I tried bleeding the brakes afterward, but the brakes will not bleed. There’s no fluid coming out or anything, even tried bleeding it at the master cylinder and no fluid even coming out there. Then I tried the passenger side wheel, nothing same problem. Any suggestions, I’m at standstill with it.

You removed the lines coming off the master and you have no fluid coming out?

I would have to assume the master has gone bad.

When you say came out... do you mean leaked out when you removed the line or shot out after line was removed and you depressed the brake pedal?
