He may be a nice guy but dude sucks as a mechanic!! It's virtually impossible to screw up this job on these vehicles but somehow he found out how! I bet he forgot to put the sensor in the new hub assembly!!
Oh i dont think he was nice... I yhink he was an a$$. Its the owner of the car lot that is nice. The mechanic has his own garage... He just does tge dealers work....

Well 2moro we will see.... If it continues to be an issue i will take it to my guy and have it fixed and pass the bill...

I did directly ask the mechanic if he plugged in the sensor.... I even gave him an out and asked if maybe a hub w no sensor was sent.... He told me he did plug it in...

Sigh*

Did you check and see if the sensor is connected? Should be able to follow the wire from the bearing up through the suspension to the top of the control arm where it connects to the vehicles wiring. (Assuming its the same as an 05' Tahoe)

They probably bought the cheapest one they could, and completely possible its defective.

Hope you get it worked out.

I did not... I dont want to sound like a whinner... But bending over and kneeling is very difficult for me after a previous injury....

So at 6'4" i kinda take peoples words for things.... I know the owner of the lot will make it right... And yes im sure tgey are using the cheapest piece..... But its free.... Lol

Understood. I had a similar issue with my 05' and turning off the traction control allowed us to drive without it happening until we got it fixed.

Then as a troubleshooting step the "mechanic" resorts to the owners manual :lol2: IMO, the first step of troubleshooting the issue is getting the esky back on the lift and doing some visual checks :lol:

Not much of a mechanic here, but with my minimal tools and a 35 mm socket I was able to swap mine out. Was amazingly easy.
