Default GM Vs. Ram Master/Slaves

I'm looking at stealership prices versus what is available from WS6store.

Is the WS6 store the genuine GM part? It looks like it is, but I don't see any additional information.

I guess I'm looking for either RAM parts, or GM parts from either a dealer, ws6store, or a good vendor.

What's going to be the best piece, GM or RAM? And what will be the best place to get it? (Pricewise)

Thanks guys, I searches and didn't see anything.

I got the slave at my local dealership for ~120 (same price as SDPC) because I went in and told them it was cheaper on the internet. He was nice enough to offer the 'shop' price, and each time I go back he always seems to help me on he price.

The GM slave is probably the most reliable, but I have not read much about the RAM slave.

I am still having problems with my hydraulics, but I don't know which part is the culprit (could have to do with the fact that I did the clutch change last time)...

I got a guy at the dealership that has helped me out before, but I hate to go and ask about this sort of stuff.

I am not sure about the slave(and would kinda like to know myself), but the master, as far as I can tell, is a gm piece with an adjustable rod end. If you go this route, keep in mind you WILL need to grind down the rod end to get the clip back on the pedal.

Thanks for the info. I got a stealership hookup, so it should be ~300$ for both pieces.

I had a friend used a non GM part, and it went out in less than a month. He's also the only person that's mentioned a non GM slave. I am hesistant to buy an offbrand part that is as important as a slave.
