Default Best replacement slave
Put in a Tick master, now my slave is leaking. What's the best slave to run to handle the pressure of the Tick? Oem? Does Tick make slaves? Thanks folks.

Please search this site. There are many threads, warnings, etc. on this subject.

Community wisdom has been that GM slaves are the only way to go. NOTE: AC Delco is not the same as a GM part and AC Delco slave are notorious for leaking.

I was thinking about going with Dorman, for both Slave and Master.

Are Dorman, Luk and Valeo the same company?

No. Dorman makes their own parts and I understand they also private label other company's parts, as well.

Luk is oem supplier. The fancy "Chevrolet performance" or oem branded slaves that you would get from a dealership are just repackaged Luk slaves made in Mexico. They are one and the same. Buy the Luk and save yourself some money.
