Default tahoe

a 07+ tahoe? the older ones aren't exactly famous for the brakes... you could put in a new brake booster, change out the fluid, calipers, pads, rotors... or just the last 2..

check for leaks underneath the vehicle, also try opening the bleeder screws and watch for bubbles coming out.
