2nd gen caliper question

doin a brake job on the front end of my rig, I have found I can move 3 of the 4 pistons for the pads. The lower piston on the side closest to the mounting bracket will NO(T budge at all. Have used a large pair of channel locks to move the other pistons with no problem (have always done this in the past with no issues, but this is an East Coast rig, and I'm from the West Coast....lol). I figured it would be easier to just replace the caliper, as this is my DD, then to try and rebuild the old 1 (for now). Looking at Advance Auto site, they sell a regular caliper, and a "semi-loaded" caliper. I have never had to replace the calipers on any other rig, what is the difference between a "semi-loaded", and regular caliper??? Rig details in the sig.....thanks!

DUH! Semi loaded includes all hardware and such! Had to call 3 different places to get the answer.....damn blonde moments! LOL
