Welcome, There are a lot of great guys with a lot of tricks and experience here.You will be well served by purchasing all of the US as well as Canadian manuals. I have a CDN M-152 and found both sets helpful in different ways. Brian Asbury in Milton Ontario is your best resource for specific CDN stuff. Is the back of your rear differential painted white? That's to reflect a convoy light specific to Canadian vehicles. Good luck.
