I have not lifted it up and tried to see if the hold while running in neutral, I will check that. But like I said before with no load in the box the truck stops on a dime, I suppose just the fronts could be working great.

The idea with the fluid is it can draw moisture If the brakes are hot it can boil. You can compress steam but not liquid.
