Replaced my rear brake pads and rotors on Monday, the bottom calliper guide pin was seized on each side, the pads would have lasted longer if the pins weren’t seized, it causes uneven wear, mostly on the piston side. The top pins were still well lubricated and free, I had to use a propane torch...

The price that I described are from Amazon.ca Canadian website, automotive parts are more expensive in Canada.

The R1 Concepts rotors are made from the same grade of G3000 gray cast iron as the Max Advantage rotors that I bought, the R1 are $403 because of the slots and drilled holes, I paid $236 with the 10% discount. I will keep track of the mileage my truck gets with the new brakes. Time will tell.

I will be replacing the rear brake pads and rotors this week on my 2020 Rebel, the pads are almost completely worn out, the front brakes are still good for a long time, the pads appear to be near 50%. Impressive! Bought the pads and rotors from Amazon.ca, the rotors have a silver coating and...

Here’s the pictures of the pamphlet and also a note about the biodiesel use

Fram now sells oil filters for the third generation eco diesel. 1/3 the price of OEM. FRAM extra guard CH12939, 16,000km or 10,000 mile protection, I had to order the filter online from thewrenchmonkey.ca because none of the automotive stores had them in my home town and even though they sold...

Had my high pressure fuel pump replaced yesterday and got the “piece of mind” inspection done for $89, my truck has 99,000km, powertrain warranty runs out at 100,000 km. All was good except the rear brake pads are almost down to steel on steel, which I knew, front rotors are corroded but the...

I live in Timmins which is almost 4 hours north of Sudbury and owned a house there while both my kids were at Sudbury University. I made many trips there and my truck’s mpg was 30 to 31 mpg Canadian gallon in the summer (25 to 26 US gallon) 2020 Rebel Diesel.

Ottawa Ontario Canada? or is there such a town spelled Ottowa in USA

This might work for you, instead of buying a new hood or trying to repair the corrosion, install a bug deflector to hide the corrosion.

That is a real bummer, can you see if the paint is chipped or cracked? if it is you should seal it with a touch up paint pen, maybe it will stop it from corroding more. My Rebel is also a 2020 with (99,000km) 60,000 miles, I live in Northern Ontario Canada where sometimes we have snow for up to...

I basically have the same eco diesel Rebel as Sascwatch and I get 31 mpg highway but I think he is showing the mpg in Canadian (UK) gallons which would convert to 26 USA gallon mpg, the Canadian gallon is bigger but believe me we pay for it! Below is a chart to make the comparison from US to UK...

YouTube diesel additives is a good way to learn, but don’t believe everything you see.
