Burnt smell after changing the front brakes - 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe

If this is a 2 wheel drive vehicle, then you could have a wheel bearing issue, or more commonly, brake caliper issues.

Do you smell a burnt smell from the wheels? Does the vehicle pull when you apply the brake? Check the pads to see if there's more wear on one side than the other side of the vehicle, as that is also a sign of a sticking caliper. Also a brake hose can start to disintegrate inside of itself causing rubber to block the flow of the brake fluid, so it's a good idea to replace them with the calipers too.

The only things this could be are bad parts or faulty installation and the only things that would get that hot are brakes and bearings.

sue him

brake caliper sliders or pistons seized. (most common problem)

could be brake lines pluged inside like a ck valve,or wheel bearings.

sounds like to problems did you actually hit some thing? if not the burnt smell should go away. about the bounce at 45 mph are you sure that it's not a shake and does it go away at 55 mph or different speed? if this is whats happening the front tire is out of balance weight could have fallen off. try this

That sounds like the "Porportioning valve" is defective.
You may want to go to your local library and check out a Chilton's, or some other repair manual for the "how to" to fix yourself or take it to a tech you can trust.

loosen the brake shoes to solve the problem, the hand brake should lock at 4 clicks and no less

Have a little read of this link and see if it doesn't shed some light on your situation.
