Both brands were Fenco. Is there that much of a difference? Have you guys ever used these reman'd units with any success??

You might want to shop around. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

I think its a cardone. Sounds like other people have had good results though, so I may just be the odd one out here. I will not buy another remanned unit.

They don't actually have any parts. They have drop ship agreements with Raybestos, Wagoner, etc., etc.. Of course they have LOTS of parts besides brake stuff. I bought Sherman rocker panels for my '89 Chevy pickup including shipping for half of the price I could find them locally.

I usually prefer the Fenco new or remanned units over Cardone, or Tru Stop, or Duralast, I've never gotten a bad unit from Fenco in the last few decades, only issues I've ever had with Fenco is availability, because they are a small capacity mfg Just make sure you have the right application for your intended brake set up, and benchbleed the master properly before installation mike

I'm assuming the manual one?

I'd rather buy a master from somewhere local in case I have to replace it. Thanks for the heads up though! Who is EIS anyway?
