There are several things needed when working on your truck in the heat!
I picked up a cheap bulb pump and drained all the old brake fluid in the reservoir out. I used a keeper pin to keep the hose from flopping out of the drain pan.
Next: just pour in the New Fluid, Fill to the MAX line. and replace the cap on the Reservior.
Be sure to check after each wheel topping off the reservior.
You will start at the Right Rear, Left Rear, Right Front, and finish at the Left Front.
I then connected a one man Bleeder Kit. AutoZone for like $6.99
You will have to plce the bleeder bottle at a point abover the bleeder screw, mine had a magnet.
Next insert the tapered adapter into the bleeding screw hole.
Open Bleeder Screw 3/4 to 1 turn
Now press the brake pedal fully three to four times (I only did 3 since 4 would over fill the bottle and leak out)

you will see the dirty brake fluid clear after about 5 to 6 cycles.

That brake fluid has about 72,000 miles on it.
Drives Great!
but I'm not done, I'm adding more brake and Power Steering fluid when it gets here.
