    They're not different. They are remans taken from customers like you with a core. They take your old one, send it to remanufacturing plants, put new innards in them and sell them back.

    I've got two "new" calipers on my truck, both have the OEM Ford logo embossed on them just like my factory ones.

    Where'd you get them from, and yeah I figured they'd be remans but when I priced them they where quite a bit more at the dealership

    I got mine from VatoZone

    Dealerships are brand new never used. Both meet the same specs and requirements.

    Vatozone? Take that as a typo, what's better for the Money though, brand new or remans that are within specs and qualifications

    Remans for sure. I think mine were about $110 each. I don't know what Ford charges, but I'm sure they are A LOT more.

    I call it VatoZone because that is where Mexicans go for their mods. Chrome out of the ASS and vinyl decals all over the place.
