My truck might not end up being a perfect job but I am aiming for 100% on the brake system.
Very wise man, way better to do it right while you are there. Do it once, do it right, enjoy the ride.

Just for fun here comes some chemistry - plus I finally get to use these bottles that have been holding on to for ten years...

This is a picture of brake fluid samples

and not to leave the 97 chevy pick up out of this

and all with water added - shaken not stirred.

Moral of the story - need to flush and replace some of the M37 brake components and secondly need to figure out what is up with the Leprechaun brake fliud in my chevy.

WOW the pictures came out huge - sorry don't have the expertise to make them smaller.
