power bleeding 01 superduty
hi, I have a power bleeder and want to know if any issues with the ABS?
I'm changing all the brake hoses, and 2 front calipers. Would I want to blow out all the old fluid, then install new or keep the master cylinder full?
Thanks for input, Artie

Personally I have not had issues with the abs on your generation SD when bleeding, what are you using? Motive power bleeder? Mityvac vacuum bleeder?
keep master full while you swap hoses, suck old fluid out before you start the bleed/flush process and put new fluid in master before hooking up your power bleeder.

Hi, and I tried to use the Motive power bleeder, I had pressure on the master cylinder, at all times, and I couldn't get any fluid from any of the bleeders.
When we did the two man technique, everything bleed out within a couple of bleedings.
Did I do something wrong with the Motive power bleeder? I did have a very hard time getting the Motive adapter to fit, I did have a good seal to the resivour. Any input would be appreciated, Artie

I'm not sure why but I have also had this happen before, where the bleeder will work on one vehicle then go directly to the next and I cannot get any fluid to pass through the bleeders.

How high do you have to go CMK? I thought it says not to go past 10psi because it can damage internal seals or the like.

pressure..
the darker/older the brake fluid the thicker is becomes.. and the more pressure to move it..
push it ALL out and start over.. Fresh...
vacuum sometimes works better. as it does NOT move all fluid at once..
I like using a power vacuum pump... and pull all the old out .. then install fresh.

Just be sure you don't get any air in the system or you will have to use scan tool that is capable of activating the ABS system to get the air out very few are capable. The ford IDM will and I believe some of the other very high end ones will also.
