calipers?

Well I just order new rotors and ceramic pads for the truck, and will also want to replace the front calipers as the last brake job revealed a deteriorating piston on the left front. Any suggestions here as far as good aftermarket calipers or would the common consensus be to stay with factory parts? Daughter is getting married in a month so there's nopt a lot of extra cash floating around, but I don't want to buy junk either.

Thanks for any advice!

IMO i would stick with the OEM's Unless you do some heavy duty towing in the hills than maybe an aftermarket choice would be in order.

Don't forget to properly lube the Slide pins with the high temp Teflon grease.
