Issue 56 of the Turbo Diesel Register will be mailed week ending April 26, 2007 from the printer in Anderson, SC.  Please allow 10 - 14 days for delivery to your doorstep.

What is in Issue 56?  Besides the big news of DaimlerChrysler's pending sale of the Chrysler Group, the excitement for Turbo Diesel owners came from the February Chicago Auto Show and the Dodge Ram 4500/5500 Chassis Cab announcement.  Writer, Steve St. Laurent, attended the show and filed his four-page report.

Other articles of interest included in Issue 56:

- Member-to-Member discussion through each of the special interest forums

- Driving the New 6.7L Engine

- The Final Answer - Perfect Fuel Transfer Pump Article

- Dowel Pin Repair and Removal; and Installing a CP3 Fuel Pump

- DDP Injector Installation and Test on a Third Generation HPCR Engine

- An Extensive Test on Third Generation Air Intake Systems

Additionally, you will not believe the correspondence created by the "Lube Oil as a Commodity" article that industry expert, John Martin, authored in the last issue of the magazine.  I've often said that discussing lube oil is like discussing religion - you can talk until you are blue in the face, but you are not going to change anyone's mind.  Looks like I should have forewarned John.  And I should have taken my own advice and used John's article for my personal education.

Finally, we share with you the results from sampling eight different lube oils.  Will the results entertain, enlighten, and challenge your beliefs or make you mad?  Turn to page 50 to find out!

As always, I hope you enjoy this edition of the Turbo Diesel Register.
