Brakes dont seem to work so good..HELP!

Bleed the lines and add new fluid as you go. Basically over-bleed them without running the system dry. I used 2-3 quarts of DOT 4 synthetic on mine. CLear fluid came out on all sides.

 

now silicone based fluid is Dot 5. Dot 4 is is just a little heaver-duty. (but better)

and if you are wondering about why to flush, start here

and hit the links.

 

Keep in mind that DOT 5 doesn't mix with DOT 3 or 4, they are totally different and will cause issues if you mix them together.

If you flush your system, do yourself an favor and start out by draining as much as you can out of the master cylinder resevoir and refilling it with new fluid. I have a brake bleeder/pressure tester kit, so I used it to suck out as much fluid as I could. That way you will get the old fluid out of the lines much quicker.

 

thanks for the help guys i got 2 quarts of dot 4 and braided lines just need to find some time to do it but now my drivshaft is pinging so got to do somthing bout that...damn trucks getting old

 

or find a turkey baster at the dollar store and when your done toss it. thats what i do.
