Yes, brand new cylinders in the rear. No, not the 1 ton. Neither shop could determine which I needed. They are only listed in sizes so I went with 15/16". Brakes feel fine, a little better than before. I'm thinking slack in drivetrain somewhere. It's done this for a long time. Yes, only when rolling backwards. As soon as I touch the brakes, CLUNK.

So are you just thinning the herd, or did you replace it? If you replaced it, what did ya get? (we want PICS!!!)

As I have it (as best I know)...
Rear brake cyl dia;
1500 = 24mm (15/16")
2500/3500 = 28mm (1-1/16")

If you want more, use the GM 3500 = 30mm (1-3/16") NAPA #37337

My LMC dash and bezel are over 5 years old and still look great. They are the best option by far.
