Withdrawls... WITHDRAWLS!!  :o Im going ffin insane! Hopefully I will get it back tomorrow. Then I have to figure out where all there little pieces go.  :o  Latches, rods, windows, handles, and oh dear. There is so much stuff.  Just think how simple these rigs are and they still have so much stuff. I couldnt imagine doing this to something like a cadilac.

I'm happy and sad for you,
Happy the Trucklet was prepped
right, and you'll have none of that crappy
overspray on the trim and latches and stuff.

And I'm sad to hear your 21 Day program isn't
working, hasn't it been about 21 days since she's
been gone ??  and your still suffering.

I'm sorry to say I think you are a hopless zukaholic,
and there is no cure for you, your stuck with the rest
of us, so you'll just have to put up with us and this
board for the rest of your life.

(like that's a bad thing  ;D )

Get a quart and bleed all the old
stuff out from all the lines and cylinders.
DOT 3 or 4  don't get 5 as it's not compatable
with regular fluid without a complete flush of
all the old fluid from the system.

KSA,
If you have your new stuff there when you remove the old you can do it without loosing much. Just unscrew one break from the line at a time and replace it with the new. After bleeding the breaks good, you will be good to go ;D

Wild,
See, I waited 10 minutes :P

Mike, ;D I could not help myself :P Give us some pics when you ger her back.

I heard after a while it can get a little water in it and makes it not so good. Sorry I dont remeber the details of it.

brake fluid does absorb water and in cast iron housings that's not good this is basicly what leads to stuck caliper and wheels cyls
For thisd reason
some european makers actualy have you change the brake fluid as scheduled maintence.

BTW dot 5 fluid is silicone based and will not absorb water but it's not compatible with dot 3or 4 and is expencive.

Dot 3 is the basic brake fluid.   Dot 4 is an upgrade with a higher boiling point AND it doesn't absorb water as well as dot 3  
I use dot 4 in all my stuf cuz i like upgrades but I am not made of $$$$$4
