I understand that this vehicle the GMC Yukon has a history of rusting brake lines

I know how to bleed brakes. You stick a length of rubber tubing on the bleed valve the other end in a coke bottle immersed in brake fluid. Open & shut the valve while someone else steps on the brake pedal. You shut the valve when nothing but fluid comes out the tubing no bubbles of air. Start...

Ive always found bleeding brakes to be a two man job. One to step on the brake pedal the other to let air out at each wheel cylinder and I dont have my dad around anymore to do that with. I wonder if I can get a shop that will do as I ask and bleed the brakes first instead of just selling me a...

Because all they did was remove a bad tire and replace it with a spare. The brakes coincidentally now go to the floor. It could be as simple as bleeding the system or as bad as replacing the master cylinder. They're not going to admit to messing with the brakes

There's a great shop in Elizabeth, Amalfe Brothers

I know the Mavis shop I use constantly has different guys working for them. Not a good sign. But their prices are reasonable. I've never used them for more than flats fixed previously. I'm in Ocean County, where are you?

Free shipping with my Amazon account to New Jersey make them probably a best buy. My local Mavis Tire shop says they will price match Amazon. I need Mavis to replace the idler arm on my Yukon. Thank you

Thanks for the tip. Any suggestion on tires? Falken Wildpeak AT3W all_ Terrain Radial Tire-265/70R17 115T is priced at $114 on Amazon and well rated
