New guy from mn with m35a2

[Floridianson]

Some are going to jump up and down but if and when I do a complete job from wheel cylinders to master I switch to dot 3. Dot 5 is way over priced. I can change out the dot 3 five times a year if I wanted to for the price of dot 5 once.

I did this also. The wheel cylinders in my M35A2 were all rusted beyond repair from water sitting in them. DOT 3 will keep the water in suspension where it can be flushed out. DOT 5 lets the water go to the lowest point. Since the wheel cylinder bleeder is at the top of the cylinder, the water just sits in the wheel cylinder where it can't be flushed out.

I also do the same. I can get dot 3 for next to nothing. I just go over the brakes every other year and put in new dot 3.
