Detailed Description

The Cardone 18-B4815 is a remanufactured rear right disc brake caliper engineered for GM heavy-duty truck applications that require a phenolic piston and matching bracket. It is a direct-fit replacement for Silverado 3500, Silverado 3500 Classic, Silverado 3500 HD, Sierra 3500, Sierra 3500 Classic, and Sierra 3500 HD models listed in the fitment data. This part cross-references GMC 18044317 and 18046143 for the same application.

Each caliper is pressure-tested and rebuilt with new premium components, including high-temperature EPDM rubber seals, new bleeder screws, and corrosion-resistant hardware details. The remanufacturing process also uses an earth-conscious approach that reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.

What It Helps Fix

• Rear brake drag or uneven rear braking on GM heavy-duty trucks
• Brake fluid seepage at the caliper body or bleeder area
• Corrosion-related caliper sticking or poor piston return
• Low or inconsistent rear brake response during service braking
• Brake noise caused by worn caliper components or damaged hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

• Compatible with rear right positions only as listed in the fitment data
• Verify the GM brake code on the Service Parts Identification sticker before ordering
• Use the brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer and replace fluid from a sealed container
• Bleed the system thoroughly after installation to remove trapped air
• For floating caliper service, use silicone grease on the mounting pins
• Confirm the inlet and bleeder port size is M10x1.5 during installation

Cardone remanufactures this caliper to OE-based standards and pressure-tests each unit for consistent brake performance. The caliper is rebuilt with new internal sealing materials, durable pistons, and protective finishing to support reliable service on Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD and GMC Sierra 3500 HD brake repairs.
