My Silverado front left caliper caused me some problems on the way home today,locked almost completely up and required about me to drive very slow,with heavy throttle for about 5 miles.
Rotor is toast,and pads got really burnt up. Everything got very hot,the wheel was scalding hot.
So anyways it needs a caliper,the local Auto recycling place has one off a 2013 express Van that had 44k miles on it for $30 with a $15 core and 180 day warranty.
Should I give it a shot to save 40 bucks over a rebuilt carquest one or is it to risky. Anybody have any experience with junkyard calipers vs the rebuilt at the big chains?
Thanks
