Thanks Chi...I've been told the Motul will mess with the ABS after a while. Don't know about the ATE. I'm going with Valvoline dot4 Synthetic.

Ford's HD fluid is very good also.

Yes the F250-550 brake fluid is good stuff and much less expensive than motul and available at your local Ford dealer

Here is the power bleeder all assembled, (I couldn't remember the site the other day)
http://www.motiveproducts.com/

I have one that I use and it sure makes fluid changing easier that having your buddy pump the brakes.
