Review on Motive Products 0103 Power Bleeder for Enhanced Compatibility with Recent Chrysler Models by John Floyd

This is a good brake pressure relief valve for the home mechanic. It is a durable plastic, but will wear out quickly with frequent use in the shop. And the pressure gauge is not protected by the case, so you have to be careful not to damage it. It can be used "dry" without filling with brake fluid, so there is no need to clean it after use. However, with this use, you must keep an eye on the side of the reservoir with clear brake fluid and make sure to top up the brake fluid. (Otherwise more air can get into the system and you have to pump even more and add a lot more fluid.) Dry running requires that you regularly depressurize the unit by unscrewing the cap (on the pressure reservoir, not the brake reservoir) so that the reservoir can keep full . Or, relieve pressure with an air hose quick disconnect (1/4 in. male/female NPT) between two brass fittings installed in the middle of the hose. You can purchase quick connectors and adapter fittings from auto parts. and hardware stores. Wrap the threads of all connectors with Teflon tape to prevent air leaks. For more information on using the descender in this manner, see other Motive Products reviews of similar descenders. New models of this descender come with a small brake bleeder hose for mounts on the caliper bleeder screw, two flat washers for the bleeder cap, and an extra regular reservoir cap (I think in case you lose yours during priming). Newer models also have 1/4 male/female threads. " Brass NPT coupling in the middle of the hose to allow for different gas cap/hose adapters for different vehicles. Most providers also have different adapters. However, please note that this Chrysler model's breather cap may not fit some vehicles based on the 1993-1998 first generation Chrysler LH platform. These include Dodge Intrepid, Eagle Vision and Chrysler Concord, New Yorker and LHS. I don't know if this works on second generation LH models. The cap provided with this bleeder has an outside diameter of approximately 1-7/8" and has three locking tabs. Some Chysler LH vehicles have a cover with three larger diameter grommets. Because there are so many sizes of master cylinder covers, Motive Products does not make them Make adapters for all vehicles (chart available on website) They will make you a working hose/cap assembly You can then order just the breather reservoir separately from Motive Products for less than the cost of the whole unit Master cylinders but they do not seal very well off.
