Never does anything. I've done well over 1k brake flushes on customer vehicles all it does is keep moisture out I never felt a difference unless the brake system had air in it.


Well when you flush 150k old fluid, you notice a difference then lmao. I'm due to flush mine again and got some full syn dot4 to put in.

Its actually only 40k fluid that's why I was so damn surprised.
All the flushes I did at work were all replaced with atf. I don't like atf because after about 1k miles the fluid is black from all the shit in the system breaking free and its hard to get clean again and the junk goes through the pump so I just used regular old PS fluid, it just doesn't last long I guess.

I'm talking about the brake fluid, not the power steering fluid lol. But I've noticed a big difference with a flush. 6 or so years ago, my buddy worked for BG and asked if he could try his new ps flush machine on my truck and their full syn fluid. I went from damn near no turning in a parking lot at a slow roll to being able to turn my wheels at a stop in a parking lot like its nothing. Been like that ever since and it has about 60-65k on the fluid now. When I hit 200k, I'll be doing a lot of "maintenance" on the truck and will flush that out again. I run it in my tracker now. So far it's far stronger and turning the tires when against rocks compared to others in the same situations.

After it doing that to my truck and watching it cure a whining pump in a dodge caravan that the pump and steering rack had been replaced twice in to get rid of the whine, I believe in it. I have no factual bs to back it. It was really just a "see it to believe it" moments

Mine was not so good today, I took mine to the shop to find out that I have water in three cylinders. 2 on one side and 1 on the other. I haven't had mine but about 2 months. the guy I bought mine from ran it hot, he had the heads redone (milled and resurfaced) and the motor put back together. he put about 2K miles on it after that and then I bought it. Since I bought it I have put about 2K miles on it and it started blowing white smoke like crazy and using coolant. I took it to the shop and got a call that it has water in 3 cylinders. They are braking it down now to see what the problem is, what a kick in between the legs!

Busy week for me. Fixing some minor things on the lly on the left and selling it for a friend. The lbz in the middle is my dad's. It's getting idler/Pittman, all tie rods, possibly some ball joints and a return test on injectors. And installing a hidden hitch gooseneck in my old beater
