According to my contact at Titan, you will want to bleed the brakes after you install your Titan Replacement Solenoid # T4748800. He said, ideally, you want to bleed your brakes each time you work with anything that can effect the brakes. Although, when replacing a solenoid the possibility of losing fluid is low, you also have the opportunity to gain air in your brakes which is not a good result, therefore, he highly recommends bleeding the brakes after you install the solenoid.

I just called my contact at Titan and they told me that you should never use the DOT 5 fluid. They said if DOT 5 is used it will reduce the life of the seals in the unit by about 75 percent. They told me that DOT lll brake fluid should be used.

If you are installing just the Firestone Ride-Rite kit, #F2400, and not also adding an on-board air compressor such as #F2158, then I would estimate that it should take about 2 hours to install the kit. That is for someone with some mechanical…
