Changing brake fluid

[texasmike]

^Not discounting the validity of a proper brake flush btw and sometimes it’s necessary.
But in normal scenarios, it’s not necessary if you just keep up with adding fresh fluid periodically.

What a simple and GREAT idea. That's exactly what I am going to start doing at every oil change.
Thanks!

Can always use the gravity method over night. Pretty much hands free. Just make sure you don't let the reservoir get empty.

That is my preferred method as well. I don't do it overnight though, just during the day so I can check on it in between other things.

For sure.
Iirc you’ve had that truck for a long time. If the fluid is super old, I’d just start changing out more frequently. It’ll mix and get “dirty” pretty quick. Like every tank of gas or so. No science to it really. Reservoir full of new fluid, once it’s brown again, replace.
