Just the facts, ma'am
When it comes through clear, then I'm happy.
For reasons I can't figure the GM calipers on my Jeep are the worst even with the plastic reevoir on the MC. Always getting rust in the system.
Replace hoses and calipers on that way too often considering the miles it gets.

Why have one? I am lucky I have access to two of them.

We was in the Nevada portion of the Mojave Desert pitting for a number of the race cars from the old home town. A desert race and a long one like 50 miles per lap. One of the buggies lost a link pin on the front end. Spindle, brakes, and wheel just kinda floppin' around on the remaining link pin. We had a lot of parts with us but none of what was necessary. We made a link pin out of a 3/4" bolt. Had to crimp the steel brake line because the rubber was long gone. Put motor oil in the MC and sent him on his way 
. He made it back to the main pits at Crappy Pappy's Oasis without having to be towed, about 30 miles across the desert.

The old truck is finally driving and stopping under it's own power. I wish I knew how to post video's here. I will try.

How is that crap working it's way all the way back up to the MC though?
Trail fix, love it. Made a spring locating pin out of bolt same type way, used come along and strap to help keep axle located, drove it to buddy's houseWe was in the Nevada portion of the Mojave Desert pitting for a number of the race cars from the old home town.

My nephew learned a lot about brakes and running new lines and rebuilding wheel cylinders and it cost me twice as much. I would buy parts and say wait until we can do it together but noooo....but we may have it now. I just can't get the video to load
Huh?

It probably comes through that port on the master, forget what its called. Compensation port? The one that sprays fluid up if you pump the brakes with the cover off.
But no idea where the crap is coming from. It's on its third pair of calipers, at least 2nd set of front hoses. The calipers and hoses get really messed up when the fluid is that filled with fine crap

Also hot linked one from Rob_Mopar's FB page. So that's another way.
Dana has posted some too after a similar discussion , but maybe he eneded up with youtube
