ABS/TCS system flush
Just received a "reminder" from the dealer's service that I"m due for my 18,000 mi abs/tcs system flush. I've looked in the manual and don't see anything about this. Seems a little soon for this. I have 21k miles on my SUT. Anyone have some input on this?

Re: ABS/TCS system flush
WTF??? Never heard of an ABS/TCS flush. Sounds like a scam. What dealer is this?

Dew Hummer in St. Pete FL. Says I'm due for my 18,000 MI 33 point inspection and ABS/TCS system flush. I had never heard of this either. That is why I was questioning their intent.

Call another Hummer dealer and ask about it.

Re: ABS/TCS system flush
In all the years I've had vehicles with ABS, I've never heard of an ABS system flush. Never heard of flushing brake fluid before. I smell a rat!

Re: ABS/TCS system flush
Typically its a good idea to flush your brake hydraulic system at about 100,000 km, 60,000 mi or if the fluid is cloudy. At 18,000 mi not required. I would talk to the service manager maybe someone made a mistake on the recomendation. I had a vehicle in our shop today that the work order read" repair for remote start not working" the truck had no remote start. Turns out they wanted a new key fob. Point is too many people in the process and sometimes the line of communication breaks down.
