Is it worth fixing up a 300k mile GMT800?

I had to turn it off after he left the gear oil soaked parking brakes under the new rear brake rotor top hats. I expect more from that guy in particular in that sitch...

I bought that little gadget and both my 99 Silverado and 04 Suburban's brake fluid shows greater than 4%. I admit I've never replaced the fluid (99 had a brake line hose replaced by my mechanic like 12 years ago; suburban I bought as high mileage).

I'm looking at learning how to do this soon. Is the Motive brake bleeder a good option?

Heck yeah!!!! I have 314,*** miles on mine and I will keep it going as long as I can. Forget buying something new. Too expensive, not as reliable and won't last as long. I HATE car notes! And yes she has some rust but I will have my body guy handle that in the spring next year.
