Issue 85 (August/September/October - 2014)

Turbo Diesel Register, Issue 85 (August/September/October, 2014) was mailed from the printer on Friday, July 25, 2014. Domestic deliveries should arrive by August 15. International deliveries should arrive by August 30.  What will you find in Issue 85?

- With its introduction and first deliveries in the spring months, a Ram 1500 EcoDiesel is now a part of the vehicles at our TDR offices. You will have a chance to read all about it in Issue 85.

- Keeping in mind that the TDR audience is still 99% Cummins powered, how will the editor make the new EcoDiesel relevant to the audience? First, he will change the gear ratio. Then he will relate the ratio change to the tow ratings. Then he will tear the truck apart and add some accessories that will work on any 2010 - current Ram truck. We hope you enjoy the story.

- TDR Writers, John and Polly Holmes, have also purchased a 1500 EcoDiesel, and they share their initial impressions with you.

- TDR Writer, Jeanette Vallier, continues exploring the Four Corners of the USA.

- TDR Writer, Scott Dalgleish, continues the repairs on his 1998 truck.

- TDR Writer, Joe Donnelly, files an update on his 2013 truck up-fit and May Madness, 2014.

- Do your best Neil Sedaka imitation: I love, I love, I love it's calendar time. Yes, it is time to send in your photograph(s) for the annual TDR/Cummins calendar contest. The deadline for submitting photos is Sunday, September 14, 2014.  

- The usual "Best Of" from the TDR website.

We hope you enjoy this issue of the Turbo Diesel Register. And as always, I sincerely appreciate your continued support.
