My local dealer said they no long offer oem calipers for our trucks. I endend up with some from ucx (under carriage express). there ramaned in Ohio and have the plastic pistons. I figured they were cheap enough to try them out. What are you guys running?

Yup, Carquest remans on mine. Steel pistons, but the bleeders are metric so I have to carry 2 wrenches when I bleed the brakes now. :cry:

When it comes to brakes I like to stick to quality stuff as long as it's not to pricey. Any more it's hard to tell what you're getting. My drivers side caliper froze up so i needed them quick.
