I read somewhere that the the idea of pressurized canisters full of brake fluid (Speedi, Motive, etc) is a crazy ridiculous idea! Why…. because using silicone hoses and simple worm gear hose clamps is a catastrophe waiting to happen!!! Think bursting hose spraying brake fluid all over and...

Curious.....why would you not fill and use the reservoir...seems like it would save time and not run the risk of having MC reservoir running too low and allowing air into system.

That looks similar to the Motive

I see that you have you added the gray regulator Also, you asked Speedi to build you an adaptor to use with your air compressor and that gray regulator with fittings and hoses is what the created for you? Cost? Also, if you fill bottle with fresh brake fluid, and for some reason use it all...

So, between the Motive and Speedi, does it just come down to personal preference? I do like that the Speedi uses vehicle specific MC fittings that are machined alum. Motive MC fittings are plastic and universal. I've read that the universal adaptor is not great at sealing all vehicles...

How large a tank? I have a 33 gallon tank air compressor.

What other differences are there to the Motive bleeder besides connecting to a tire for pressure?

Preparing to replace rotors and pads on my 2018 Toyota RAV4 Gas model. I would also like to exchange all brake fluid and bleed the system. I'll also be performing this in the future on my '23 GMC 3500 6.6L GAS truck, as well as my other Japanese and American vehicles. I have read posts from...

Thanks Tachyon....all questions answered and very thoroughly!!!

20% OLM sounds like a reasonable spot for a warranty plan

Thanks for the info. What was the reason you went from a relatively new '21 to a '24? The '21 is a very nice truck.

Sounds like we have similar uses....towing a TT in 100F+ temps, towing my fishing boat weekly, plus all other common truck uses! When I purchased....I drove the truck home 150 miles from dealer in 119F!!

Did you perform any oil changes prior to recommended first at 7500 miles?

I'm new at this oil selection/analysis, as I have not purchased a new truck in many years where I can service and record from new. I want to take great care of my investment, as best I can: 2023 GMC Sierra 3500HD; 6.6L GAS/6 Speed Trans; 4x4; Crew Cab; Short Bed After doing some reading on the...

Thanks! I was a Ford guy and this is my first modern GMC. So far, I like it! Probably my last truck, so I want to maintain it as such (severe duty maintenance).
