Default New Brake calipers

My passenger side rear caliper is seezed. It works but after enguaging the brakes I get a swqeel. Put new pads in a few months back and it was a bitch to get the calipers open. i'm replacing the caliper and wanted to varify that there is actually a difference between left and right or will any rear D2 caliper work?
Also are these calipers the same as Ranger Rover same years? Just trying yo widen my search. Thanks for any help.

How many miles on your truck, if over 100,000 miles might consider replacing both calipers to prevent any pulling while braking.

Left and right are different (where the fluid line and bleeder is located)). Don't know about a P38 interchange. I have to agree with Mike, I'd replace both sides. Brakes are not something you want to "scrimp" on.

THe truck as around 150 miles on it. That is good advice. I already ordered the passenger side caliper. I'll try to get the driver side also and do it all at once.

Rock auto has centric remans for like $35 after core return. they come with new pins AND brackets...mine are in the mail and going on this week.

As for your question on sidedness. There ARE specifics per side because of where the banjo bolts on and the bleed screw location because it needs to be located at highest point to bleed air properly.

I BELIEVE that the p38 RR has the same brakes as the 99-2002 D2 but the calipers were redesigned in 2003. I'm only about 40% sure about that though.
