The GM service manual does have info on flushing and bleeding. acdelcotds.com will get you access to GM's info. $22 for a 3 day subscription. You can copy as many pages on there as you can in 3 days. And that is not limited to just one VIN/vehicle. I did many of my GM vehicles when I did it.

Most of us track guys pressure bleed. I use the Motive Bleeder 0108. But I do not put fluid inside the bleeder reservoir. I keep an eye on the master level. Do not run the master dry!

There is a specific bleed order that is not like the old RR/LR/RF/LF.
The proper sequence is:

RR/LF/LR/RF

The reason it is different because of where the ABS module is located.
Pressurize the master to 25-30PSI.

Gravity bleed is not a good way to bleed these complex circuits.

There is an ABS bleed procedure. This will flush out the old fluid from within the ABS module. It can make a positive difference in the pedal feel if it is performed. You need the proper scan tool though, to do this. I have a Foxwell NT630 Plus, it works great. Look on Amazon. The ABS sequence that the scan tool performs is controversial but I have used two different scan tools and they do it the exact same way the GM Tech 2 does it. Just follow the scan tool's procedure no matter the questionable sound sequence. I track my '22 SS 1LE and previous '14 SS 1LE and have done a rediculous amount of bleeds over the past 12 years.


DOT3 is acceptable for just street use but buy a quality fluid. DOT4 gets you a higher dry and wet temp boiling point but note that DOT4 fluid absorbs moisture at a faster rate than DOT3.
