Default Re: FEH 08 AWD Off Road -- Not Good

keep your brake fluid flushed once a year with dot 3 Ford spec or dot 4. Most brake failures at high temps are due to brake fluid boiling because it has 2-3 % moisture content which lowers the boiling point to 300 deg or lower and the bluid boils which makes the fluid foam and is the same results a air in the system. This happened to me at 140 mph at Texas world speedway in a turbo porsche. Good thing there was a runoff area.
