Is this a Brake Fluid issue?

    In all honesty, I don't think I will be switching the type of Brake Fluid I use. It's always been DOT5 for me with Conquests, and I've never had any issues with it. My original thought was that it might be contaminated, not that I think another type was needed in this application. Although, I have now learned more than I ever wanted to know about Brake Fluid

    Now, in an effort to get us all back on track here:
    NO, I have not yet seen Bigfoot up here yet
    But I am keeping my eyes open

      He looks like this. I snapped this picture in northern Maine last summer.

        We've had several Bigfoot sightings here on the east coast:

          The reason this makes me laugh is becouse of a story yrs ago, run in some "National Enquirer type" magazine. It stated that there is a "Secret" laboratory hidden under the hospitol in my hometown. It was quite interesting, and told all about the testing being performed on the captured Bigfoot that they had down there.

            RD I've seen a lot of your videos. If you haven't run into him, he doesn't exist. Unless he's running a camo HDI with Adair tracks and snow extensions.

              Thought I would chime in with my 2cents (not about big foot though). Last winter I was hunting in Peace River. It was -15celcius approx. All good. Taking the Argo out for the day the brakes started to fade as the machine warmed up. Long story short, I replace the master cylinder, the brake calipers, pads, brake line thinking the components were the problem but still had the issue. The one thing I had not done is make sure all the old brake fluid was gone (I had been very careful not to drain excess fluid, which would have been a good thing in this case). Once I bled ALL the old fluid out, Problem gone.

              Yesterday I was out and started having issue with the other side, last night I flushed all the fluid out, problem gone.

                I'm having similar problems with my "Argo Bigfoot" found the piston seal were not allowing the caliper pistons to retract properly. The calipers seals should retract the piston .015" if they are in good condition. I found gunk outboard of the seal hanging the pistons. I have new seals on order.
