changing rear wheel cylinders to GM part #

[DrJC]

TDR FRIENDS,



I am right now removing the failed rear wheel cyclinders on my '96 Dodge 2500 4WD.



Recall reading here that a good replacement wheel cylinder is the GM part # which has a larger bore/piston, is an exact fit otherwise, resulting in improved braking performance on the rear axle.



Is this still viewed as a good move? And, what is the part # for this GM cylinder?



Thanks a lot!

you could buy 3500 wheel cylinders also. They are bigger and cheaper
