edit-
In reply to a post with some good questions that now seems to have disapeered.... it read:
"what's the cost difference between the labor to pull, have the sleeve work done and reinstall, down time, bleed
vs.
just buying - new wheel cylinders? down time is your time and cost. certainly new ones will last another dozen years...plus
or maybe I'm missing something here??"
And my answer,
Depending on the cost of new wheel cylinders having the old ones sleeved can be cheaper. It is longer lasting for sure.
Your/the mechanics labor to replace or have sleeved and reuse is the same.
If you plan to keep the truck long enough for a second brake job down the road the stainless sleeves should pay for themselves in saved cost at that time (no new wheel cylinders to buy) if they need kits you can often install them on the truck, no need to remove the cylinders, Just clean in place, so saved time too.
