I just changed out my brake fluid in preparation for hauling a trailer from CO to FL. The pedal didn’t feel like mush but the reservoir was not looking impressive. I picked up a Motiv Pressure Bleeder and some Amsoil fluid. The bleeder made it a breeze without anybody else. Totally worth the $50 especially if you have other GM vehicles.

When I cracked the first bleeder screw, I about crapped my pants. The fluid was very dark and dirty, much worse than was was in the reservoir. Each caliper yielded the same result so I pushed 4 bottles through the system, then topped off the reservoir. What a difference! I thought the pedal felt ok before but it evidently didn’t. Now it is nice and firm and stopping is noticeably quicker. If you aren’t changing your brake fluid regularly, it’s a simple job and good fluid is pretty cheap. No reason to skip this job, both for your truck’s longevity and your own safety.
