TDR Issue 60 was mailed from our printer's facility from April 28 - May 2, 2008.  Please allow 10 - 14 days for delivery to your doorstep.

Issue 60's theme:  we are celebrating 15 years of the Turbo Diesel Register.  When the magazine arrives at your doorstep, you may be polarized by its art deco cover.  On the inside, you'll find a surprise or two or three.

What can you expect in Issue 60?  This anniversary issue sparked the creative efforts of Greg Whale as he composed a quiz for the TDR audience.  How much TDR/Dodge/Cummins trivia do you know?  Find out by taking Greg's "Are You A Diesel Dufus?" quiz on page 116, or take it online by clicking here:  Are you a Diesel Dufus?  Hey, there are prizes involved, so get busy and take the quiz.

Greg's quiz required back issue research, and I was also forced to go back to an old magazine in an effort to understand the plight of the aftermarket performance vendors in the new world of NOx and particulate emission control for the 6.7-liter engine.  Blending old information with new, you'll find my report on page 50.

- Joe Donnelly does a follow-up on compound turbochargers.

- Holmes, Dalgleish, and Leno evaluate new products.

- Whale, St. Laurent, Mikonis and Patton review the new 2009 Dodge Ram.

- Whale, Freund, Patton and Cameron give you something to think about in their discussions on diesels, fuel mileage, diesel prices and government mandates.

Finally, your 2008 TDR Member decal is inserted into the cover wrap.  I am hopeful it finds a place alongside your 2007 decal that was already prominently displayed on your truck.

Thank you to all of the TDR membership for your unyielding support over these many years.
