When I did a brake job on my 2012 GMC Acadia, I ordered the parts from Rock Auto. I decided to use Delco parts, and discovered that Delco offers both "OEM" and "Professional" lines. They also have a very cheap "Advantage" line that I didn't consider. Using the front pads as an example, the OEM ceramic pads are $97.79, while the Professional ceramic pads are $40.79. Because of the big price difference, I opted for Delco Professional pads and rotors. The quality of these parts appeared to be first rate; the rotors were definitely better than any store brand rotors I've bought.

Is there really any difference (other than price) between the Delco Professional and Delco OEM parts? Or is it just a marketing ploy to get customers to pay twice as much for identical parts?

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
