If i had to guess the stock fluid is what was in there.
The two new bottles i used to flush n bleed were brand new from the store.
Finished it off with Valvoline Full Syn DOT 3/4

Yeah man... Your brake booster is the big black circular object on the driver's side firewall with a little aluminum manifold coming off of it with a reservoir for the brake fluid. Remove the two nuts and you will see a little rod coming out from the booster (actuator rod). I used some pliers that had a 90 degree angle on them to hold the backing nut and a small wrench (forget the size) to back out the nut. Let me see if I can find the write up. Made a WORLD of difference. Tried to make it sound simple, because it really is!
Heres one with pictures.

THey kind of suck, but its a start. I would be more than willing to do a video for you if you want. I will be home on Monday.

Mine always felt like crap, real spongy and had to pump them up to really feel the deceleration. Thought it was due just to having 35's, so I replaced the pads and rotors and bled everything just to make sure, and it felt the exact same. Did some searching on here and I just adjusted the rod behind the master cylinder out 1 1/4 turn out and its like a whole new truck. No more having to pump and I can make panic stops now. Its a really easy process.
