Nice. I'm originally from Newark/Belleville. Used to work on Valley Rd in Montclair as a kid. I'm in Keansburg now. Funny--we went it opposite directions lol.
I feel like we've had this convo before lol. Good to meet you--again

You should always replace both sides when doing brake hoses if the hoses have been in use >70K miles. The hoses for these Tahoes are $15 at worst. They are all made by the same Chinese company.

Thx, I try. I'm def not a mechanic, but I've gotten some solid advice from this great forum, so just trying to return the love.

Thanks Guys. I took Tony's advice and ordered the stainless steal rear hoses. Now just have to wait for a nice sunny weekend to replace them.

Don't forget you're gonna need to bleed the system after.

Just wanted to get an opinion. I was thinking of having a mechanic do it just for this since I don't have my home garage avail for the moment. The mechanic wants to charge 300 in labor to replace both rear pads and hoses and bleed the system is that a reasonable price or does that seem high.

Seems high to me, but that's just my opinion. How many hrs is he quoting for?
