Issue 50 is in the mail. We expect that all copies will be delivered within the next 7 - 10 days (by November 21, 2005).

In Issue 50, we asked our writers to tell you about their favorite truck accessories. (As you prepare your holiday wish list, we thought this might be helpful.) But as you will see, some writers complied; some did not. Regardless, we believe you will find their articles interesting and entertaining.

Also, in Issues 48 and 47 we took time to discuss the history of the turbo diesel truck as well as Cummins history. While doing research on the internet, we noted that 2005 marked the 100-year anniversary of the patent for the first turbocharger. Thus, we've devoted some pages to look at this important component of our engine.
 
Issue 50 also includes our compilation of the relevant Dodge Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) issued over the past year. Surprisingly, only five TSBs were issued from mid-year 2004 through mid-year 2005.

And finally, be sure to review the five-page review of the new Mega Cab truck.

Be on the lookout for this year's updated Travel Companion which was also shipped with Issue 50.

We're hopeful you will enjoy Issue 50. And as always, thank you for your ongoing support of the Turbo Diesel Register.
