Crimped ends were correct orientation and perfect fit on every install, after some 80k miles on the first install they still looked new.
Yes we do have the same DOT, Canadian version . I did find some through JEGS they are DOT approved made by stop tech. I'm actually surprised Russell doesn't have a set listed for my truck.

I bought Powerslot drilled and slotted rotors and Hawk pads. There was a significate difference in braking capability on my truck, no increase in noise and I am not noticing an increase in brake dust. I would purchase them all over again.

You need to look into a Motive Products power bleeder! I replace the fluid in the master, then use the tank dry to just put pressure on the reservoir, bleed the calipers, remove the tank and top the reservoir as needed. It's a true one person operation and less mess and time than putting the fluid in the tank.

I actually have one of those power bleeders . I forgot all about it till you mentioned it. I just have to find it.
