Brake help
Hi Guys,
I have a 1995 F 150 4x4. I need to change all the brake fluid as whats in there now is who knows how old and looks like coffee. The truck has ABS at the rear. What is the proper bleeding procedure for this truck. What order to follow. I believe it has another module on the frame somewhere? Looking for some guidance.
Thank you

That's what I do
I remove all 4 tires and use jackstands, then put a pan under each wheel and open all 4 bleed screws
Just as the fluid almost is gone from the master cylinder, I add more fresh fluid
After about 3 adds of fluid, you will have clean fluid in the master cylinder
Then one more time for the wheels to all run clean
When done, I shut all the bleed screws and bleed the brakes one wheel at a time just for GP's
Done in about an hour but you need to constantly monitor the fluid level
If the fluid runs completely out, air will enter the master cylinder, and you'll need to bleed the whole system
Fun stuff
I do it a lot
Freakin Hondas / Acuras want their brake fluid changed at 30k mile intervals for some reason
