I don't think I would mix synthetic and std. Much like DOT5 doesn't mix, I have yet to hear much bout the synths.

ya im going to completely flush system. and put new fluid in. Im just wondering about the abs sys, will it flush out along with the rest or is there a special way to bleed/flush
Flush just like any other system. Trucks with ABS should have there systems flushed every 40,000 miles. If you don't have a power bleeder, what I do is suck out the old fluid with a suction buld ( looks like a turkey baster) and fill with new fluid and start bleeding the system making sure the reserviour doesn't get to low and suck air. Start at the right rear ( furthest from the reserviour) and work forward.
