If you don't have access to a scantool with that capability, then you can do this by driving on a road some place with some dirt or gravel and force the ABS to work. I've found that frequently they can go off too if you brake while crossing railroad tracks. The procedure for bleeding is (1) manually bleed as normal (2) ABS bleed (3) manually bleed again. So it's obviously less convenient without the scantool but it can be done. I'll be doing this myself after I get my new master cylinder put on. I have AutoEnginuity which does have the ABS service bleed capability. It's kind of pricey though.

I thought so at first too and did exactly that using AutoEnginuity to do an ABS service bleed. When that didn't work I tested my master cylinder by removing the brake lines and plugging the outlet ports per the Ford Workshop Manual test method. It is toast.

With Tacoma voting them selves a $12 min wage and Seattle at $15.
It will soon become Very Slow Food so the workers can get more time
out of each car full. Or in my case no more fast food.Costs too much as
it is and to top that off they only get the order 100% right 75% of the time.

Sorry for the rant.

It's just about as cheap to go to Chili's or Outback and get some REAL food for what you have to pay at the fast food places anymore. Sometimes it's cheaper.

Hey guys,
Working on a friends truck doing the blue spring and he still has the plastic CAC tube.
I can not for the life of me get it back on the intake elbow. Looks like I might really have to heat it up?
Any other tricks?

Did you try attaching it to the intake elbow first? It should go right back together, maybe something is fouled up under the air cleaner.

When cold it can be a *****!! Try lubing it up with Vaseline and lay across the passenger side so you can use you body weight for leverage...
