RE: Dot 5 10 bucks a pint at my local parts store,

This helps me too. I have been FREEKING OUT! for the last 2 days since I read about DOT 5 , drained my MC reervior, have been researching all the posts..... I just realized something. I have had a mixture of d3 and d5 in my MC for 3 years and have had no problems with the braking system.

I had a Dot 3 / Dot 5 stew in my master cylinder. I Love this site. I had no Idea about the DOT 5 fluid until I got here. Maybe the sheriff Dept, or the Oil change guys...or me put Dot 3 in the MC I dont know but I put it in a jar and it was a wierd emulsion. Anyway the big question is...

I opened the bleeder valve on my fuel filter and let some air out of the filter before I started it up today, and It did not stall....Thanks for the advice you guys are great! PS Will change my avatar soon.

I got all the fluid out of the reseviors put the fluid in 2 separate jars and added dot 3. The main bigger res was very dark grayish, and cloudy the rear resevior was yellow fluid but cloudy. Both jars show a separation of the fluids. Now what??? Do I refill with Dot 3 or do I go find some Dot...

Well I had no Idea.... I think the oil change guys topped off my MC with dot 3. There is no DOT 5 Sticker. Did the military always use DOT 5... The stuff looks dark and murky. What next?

I have been mixing in filtered WVO and its been great... But I have changed a couple of filters and I didnt bleed it right... I read recently you should disconect the pink wire while cranking to get the air out.... My truck starts,,runs for 5 seconds, then acts like its out of fuel. Then I...

Thank you guys I got er done and its running great.

I found a power steering pulley tool at harbor frieght... Not the 3 arm kind... Its the proper tool...It was only 12 bucks!

I put a new Power Steering pump on my truck and I filled it with Transmission fluid... Now I have a leak inside my truck from my HydraBooster... I have always put transmission fluid in my power steering units.. Im wondering if I screwed up, and caused this leak? I know I have to find a new...

Oooops I filled my MC with dot 3.... Whats going to happen now?

Wow that looks nice... Great job.

Is there any spray paint I can buy that match the cucv color???? or do I need to buy it and buy a spray gun??? Where can I get it???

I took it apart and relized the stud was sheered off flush with the next bracket in, (altenator bracket) I took that off and the stud has a nut in the center and IO was able to remove it without drilling. So I went to the local Ace hardware and bought a 10mm stud and nut and it was an easy fix...

I just remembered something... I think the pivot bolt wasn't a bolt??? I think it was a stud out of the block with a nut attached. Is that correct? and can I back what is left of the stud out and put in a bolt??? or do I have to drill and tap new threads??? I hope I'm not in over my head.

Oh and My horn does'nt work either... Is it a stealth thing... or a 22 yr old vehicle thing?

Thanks for the advice...I havent started working on it yet but I went out and looked at it in the daylight, of course it is snapped flush with the block. Good news is I went to the Chevy dealer and ordered the bracket and it cost $22 Bucks... I should get it tomorrow. Thanks...

Nice Truck! Im pretty new to this too.... and I want another one already.

My bracket was broken also, but I put it back on thinking I could weld it later. Unfortunately the cracked piece fell off, now I need to find a new one. Any suggestions would be help full. email jpsco@insightbb.com (this was from a few weeks ago) Well I never fixed it and was driving tonight...
