brake caliper

I have a driverside caliper hanging up, is there another better caliper then the 97 caliper that would work without modding anything or should I stick with the 97 caliper?

Thanks

What I have done in the past on 2 cars is just gone to autozone for rebuilt calipers. You give them your old one and they give you a refurbished one that I swear is as good as new. For a grand am and a sunfire they were 18 bucks each. I cant imagine the truck ones being more than 25 each. Definitely worth it and have had no problems. All you have to do is connect the new one to the line, install everything, and then bleed, and done.

Make sure to replace the caliper pins with new ones. Also try replacing the brake line hose, it may be collapsing internally.
