To buy one slave cylinder over another?

[pro2am]

I have to replace the slave cylinder this weekend. It has all the classic symptoms of a failure.

I checked Advance, Auto Zone, Oreilly, and Napa. Looks like AZ and Oreilly sell the exact same one while Advance and Napa's look the same.

Anyone have better luck with one over another? I was thinking the Perfection from Advance.

Thanks.

Oh...if anyone has any tips on doing this job please let me know.

I used the one from Advanced about 4 years ago now and no problems yet. The only tip I have is that @#$%& top right belhousing bolt was a bugger to remove.

That's good. Advance sells the Perfection...the same guys that make the good video's on how to bleed the system.

Thanks for the tip on the bolt.

Can you tell me what are the "classic symptoms of failure"? I posted about my 99 B2500 (same tranny I believe) but no responses. I am thinking it my be the SC but I have had two people look at it and one told me it needed a transmission - the other told me it needed a clutch.

Buy the one from NAPA. Check this thread - http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?p=826118#post826118

When I said classic symptoms...hard to get into gear, truck wants to stall when stopped and the clutch pedal is pushed in (due to clutch engaging the engine slowly). Sometimes have to start truck in neutral because clutch won't release right away.
