So what fluid is supposed to be in it? Existing and /or new? Thanks
New the trucks came with DOT 5. What is in it today is anybody's guess. I would personally start fresh. Rebuild master. Replace the rear wheel cylinders. Replace all rubber lines. Blow out metal lines with compressed air. Rebuild front calipers.
If you trust yourself to rebuild the master and front calipers you can do this job for not much more than $100 not including fluids.
The original caliper have chrome plates bores and stainless steel pistons. I can't guarantee you'll get this with aftermarket calipers and strongly suggest it if you're going to run the DOT 5 fluid.
If you renew everything at once you can pick whichever fluid you want to use.
Whatever you do, do not use petroleum grease on any seals in the brake system. Silicone or PTFE greases only.
