ACCEPTED

Did you drive the truck (use the brakes) after the water was put in the resevoir?

Was the resevoir completely empty when you put the water in the resevoir?

If you answer yes to either of these questions visit your mechanic for a brake fluid flush and fill.

If your answer is no, top it off with the proper brake fluid and you should have no worries.
