Quick couple of observations. Technically brake fluid is supposed to be changed annually because of water. But who does that?
Crap will eventually move through from the caliper to the reservoir. Hot fluid moves up. It’s how once clean clear brake fluid eventually gets discolored in the reservoir over time. Much quicker if you cook your fluid on the track.
last, I did a bbk swap and brake soft line to longer braided lines on my Chevy prerunner.
bleeding was a nightmare. I assumed that because I had a vacuum bleeder that ran off my air compressor, that I would be good to go in a matter of seconds.
I sat for an hour. And then got the missus Into the drivers seat to go the old fashioned way. Nada.
then I finally pulled out my autel and went through the abs bleed program.
Ran that twice to be sure and hard as a rock.
I hate that you need special computer tools to do basic maintenance.
even worse, if I ever decided to get rid of the abs system in the prerunner, and go manual brakes, then I have to go stand alone for the ecu because the bcm will nanny everything
