Harvey Barlow wins TDR Common-Sense Tip Contest!

You can become a TDR writer too!

What, you don’t recall seeing the contest write-up?

Well, there was not one. Here is the story. I was trolling the 6.7-liter Engine and Transmission Discussion Forum and discovered Harvey Barlow’s, “Simple Do-It-Yourself Instructions for Changing an ISB 6.7 Fuel Filter.” Simple Do-It-Yourself Instructions For Changing an ISB 6.7 Fuel Filter

I thought out loud, “This is what the TDR is all about! Members helping members with the website and magazine as channels for the flow of information.”

I captured Harvey’s comments and added them to an article that I had already written for Issue 62 of the Turbo Diesel Register which will be out in November, 2008. The preview of this article is available here: http://www.turbodieselregister.com/t...lterchange.pdf
We sent Harvey $100 today and decided to officially announce a “TDR Common-Sense Tip Contest.”

So here goes:

· Using Harvey Barlow’s tip as a guide (his tip pointed out that since the 6.7-liter engine’s introduction, the audience has overlooked the obvious), submit your Common-Sense Tip in the new “Common Sense Tips from TDR Members” forum (TDR Common Sense Tips from TDR Members - TDR Roundtable).

· The contest will run through November 30, 2008.

· The top ten tips will be selected and published in the Turbo Diesel Register.

· The best tip, as judged by the TDR staff, will be recognized in the TDR Magazine and will be sent a $100 check. The second the third place tips will also be recognized in the TDR magazine and will be sent a $50 gift certificate to Geno’s Garage. The other submissions will be given honorable mention status and will be published in the Turbo Diesel Register magazine.

· Get busy!

You web guys and gals share LOTS of information that does not make it to print. The writers and I try to capture data, and it is important to do so. We’ve got some good stuff on our website, but we need to get it into the magazine for all TDR members to benefit from. Participate in the “Become a TDR Writer” contest, and let’s get the information to the masses!
