Just be careful not to pump them up so mich that you bleed the abs module off... Try to initially crack the bleeder, then have someone push the pedal down, close the bleeder,let the pedal up.. until the fluid is clear and not aerated, then pump the pedal 3-4 times then crack bleeder...... If you have to pump the pedal more than i think its 20 times start the truck and bleed it with the engine running so the ebcm will kick on to purge air and keep fluid in it.

I searched for weeks all over the US to find one. Its hard to find a 4.8, manual, pw/pl, dual climate control, manual 4x4, with the LSD and not a G80. esspecially if you want it mostly stock and under 100k miles. Had mine shipped from PA.

I dont care if it has pw/pl and any if that crap.... Its for my 14 year old to be his first vehicle when he gets his license.... Doesnt need all the creature conforts, dont even care if its 4wd.... Hell id be happy with a base model wt 4.3 5spd with rubber floor mats.... But not trying to pay a small fortune for it...

I'm actually a bit of a toyota cultest but thats part of my alternate personality.
Honestly havent ever had a terrible experiance with anything. But I always sell them right before I think they are going to die. This will hopefully be a vehicle I keep for over a year.
