Power Brake Bleeder

Has anyone bought one of these for their 2011 or later truck?

What for? You dont need one. All you have to do is fill brake reservoir. Then just go crack one blender till fluid runs no bubbles. Refill move to next and so on. I've never needed a bleeder period. And if you want after doing it one time. Pump brakes. Ck fluid and repeat if pedal doesn't feel just right. Gravity bleed the only way to go.

Need it to replace my brake fluid. Makes it easier to bleed until new fluid is coming out.

Nothing easier than gravity doing the work for you. Been doing it over 40 years. But do what you feel you need to do.

AGREED! I just did mine last week, drained fluid out of each caliper until it ran clear. One at a time, started with right rear because it's the longest distance from the front. My son pumped the pedal while i watched, kept reservoir topped off, and moved from one wheel to the next. Just need a 8mm wrench (I think) and a little bucket.
