Attached are some photos of the brake fluid job I did on the truck today, figured I'd share my results. Pushed almost a full gallon of fluid through the system. The fluid color was pretty dark compared to normal clear DOT3/4, not sure if Chrysler uses something dyed or what.
I'm trying to resolve brakes squeaking at slow speeds and reversing down the driveway (especially on cold/wet mornings). My brake pedal wasn't as firm as thought it should be so this was my first attempt (after full replace of rotors and brakes). I currently have about 10k miles / 1 year on the new brakes. Squeaking came up about 3 months ago. Too soon to tell if the squeaks are gone but I haven't heard anything yet.
I attached a before and after picture of the color of the fluid coming out of the bleeder screw. The bottle was clean before I started putting fluid into it.
