reading is fun. let's all read together.



I put nothing but dot99 in the hatch, oh wait, I've never done ---- with the brakes except change the pads once, and now I get squeaking from all 4 corners, ---- the rear drums, I have some disks to put in, I just need to buy the brake lines, rotors, and pads.

Kyle, just squirt some 3 in 1 oil on the rotors and in the drums before you go driving, that will stop the squeaking

Don't take my word for it but I heard you can go to ford and ask for fluid for a big truck like a f350. I heard it's still dot3 but it will take higher temps and mix with regular stuff.
