Brake Bleed Question

Brake Bleed Question
I have a 2004 Tahoe, and it justturned 30,000 miles. I want to bleed the brakes for routine maintenance. Is there any special procedure for bleeding the brakes. I know some vehicles with ABS have to be done at the dealer because the ABS system needs to beconnected to a dealer computer.
Also, any opinions about adding a high capacity aluminum transmission pan? I know PML and come other manufactures make highcapacity pans with drain plugs.
Thanks

RE: Brake Bleed Question
You can follow the normal procedure for brake bleeding on your 2004 Tahoe however if it is equipped with the JL4 Stabilitrak option I would recommend having the dealer do the work.
Use fresh Dot-3 fluid, start at the right rear (RR) brake, then LR and RF then LF.
Have your helper slowly press and release the pedal and wait 15 seconds between each pump/release.
Keep the master cylinder at least 50% full of fluid and keep the bleed hose-end submerged in a bottle of fluid the entire time.
And most importantly; have fun.

RE: Brake Bleed Question
Autoride and Stabilitrak are not related, if you have the JL4 option then you will have a button on the dash to disable the feature, very few Tahoe's were built with this option in 2004.
If you give me your VIN, I can check for sure.
