2020 FX4 still has its original brake juice, but I am looking to bleed it myself with a vacuum bleeder.

From everything I have read, the only reason folks take it to a dealer for this is so they can activate the ABS module and get what little fluid is in there out as well.

By doing it myself, I am going to pull all the old fluid out of the system, minus the portion mentioned above. IIRC, unless there is a vent on the ABS module, the fluid there is not going to get worse, ie, absorb more water, because I think that system is closed.

Am I thinking correct or am I blowing smoke up my own ass . . .

FORScan will allow you to do a bleed like the dealer (we all assume) does. I believe the details are within the FORScan procedure.
Edited, added the screenshot.
