Get the chevy 1-ton dually cylinders. I'm sure the dodges would be sufficient but I went with the GM ones and was not disappointed. The truck STOPS now.

Mine were from a 96. Not sure if it makes a difference.

I thought that I read some were that you should get parts off the same year truck that you are working on

Why? Parts like that often cover several years worth of product line and usually more than 1 or 2 models and variations. Find out what year and models of Chevys use that same wheel cylinder and then go hunting. I have seen where a part for a Cherokee was cheaper than the same part for a Grand Cherokee even though they were the exact same part number. I bet a matching part for a Suburban is listed at a higher price than the same part that fits a pickup just because they think the Suburban owner will pay more. I was at the GM dealer last week picking up a flywheel for a boat. When I asked the counter guy to look it up under Mercruiser he gave me a part# and price of $395. When I had him look it up for a Vortec V6 engine he got the same part #, but with only a $266 price tag. Guess which one I bought? Matched perfectly with the old one out of the boat.

I have looked at Rockauto but they are verry expensive with shipping bevause they use Fedex instead of USPS.....
HA! FedEx is loads cheaper than USPS when the weight is over 5lbs. Trust me, I ship a lot.

I am living in The Netherlands so trust me Fedex cost a lot more then USPS.

The problem is we have no Dealerships or partsstores here that have the parts.

So it is really important that I get the right parts.....

I have looked again on the side of rokauto to compare the calipers :

for a 1500 4x4 from 98 :

RAYBESTOS Part # FRC4418 {Professional Grade; Friction Ready Caliper, Remanufactured Bore Size=2.94" Inlet Thread=M10X1.5 Bleeder Thread=M10X1.5 (See More Info Page for Rebates & Promotions!)}
Front; Left

For a 2500 :

RAYBESTOS Part # FRC4414 {Professional Grade; Friction Ready Caliper, Remanufactured Professional Grade; Remanufactured; Brake Pads Not Included Bore Size=3.15 Inlet Thread=M10X1.5 Bleeder Thread=M10X1.5 (See More Info Page for Rebates & Promotions!)}
Front; Left; 7500 Lb GVW

So the bore is bigger!!

For the 3500 it smaller!!!! :

RAYBESTOS Part # FRC10184 {Professional Grade; Friction Ready Caliper, Remanufactured Professional Grade; Remanufactured; Brake Pads Not Included Bore Size=2.285" Inlet Thread=M10X1.5 Bleeder Thread=M10X1.5 (See More Info Page for Rebates & Promotions!)}
Front; Left

Now I have to find out ho to get them cheap here.....

Because there's two of them! Make sure that part# for the 2500 is for a dual piston caliper. I'm kind of doubting it from those specs. GVW on my truck is over 12k.
