Thanks for the schedule, it's looking like I'll be able to arrive on Monday now, instead of Wed evening. Although I'll be wearing foot cast, or special boot anyway, and 30 days off with disability pay.
:--)

Note that we will have a display engine, and also 68RFE, and Aisin transmissions!

Those will be really interesting to see!

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

We have three Chrysler guys, a Cummins guy, BD Power (Harald), South Bend Clutch (Peter) so it would be nice if more people reading this will come to give them the best showing of TDR interest that we can. This is a chance to get far more and better info than any other venue.

 

[RVTRKN]

I have lots of questions for Peter.
