Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Issue 99 of the Turbo Diesel Register was mailed on February 1, 2018. Inside the cover wrap, you will find the 2018 TDR Member decal (note the new design) and a TDR new member brochure. Please make copies of the brochure, and put them in your glovebox to help us sign-up some new TDR members during 2018. We need your help to grow the membership. Thank you, in advance, for your efforts.
What else is in TDR Issue 99? While the excitement of November’s SEMA Show has long faded, the impact of Cummins-powered vehicles has not. Did Cummins retain the “King of Cool” crown for 2017? I think so, and you will see pictures of all kinds of Cummins repowered trucks and Ram/Cummins trucks scattered throughout the magazine. Enjoy.
Also in this issue, you will find our annual SEMA Show update on performance products. “Blowin’ in the Wind” (page 42) has the latest FCA-for-sale story as well as a discussion on the demise of sedans offered by the Chrysler Group.
And if you follow the battery service tips that TDR Writer, Moses Ludell, gives us, you could also see battery life of up to 13 years. While at the SEMA show, Joe Donnelly checked in with the Odyssey and Optima battery folks and shares some tips on absorbed glass mat (AGM) battery maintenance.
And there is always the usual:
- Owner specific problems and corrections
- Writers, Dalgleish and Langan, busy accessorizing their newest trucks
- John Martin talking about lube oil
- New product releases
- More travel adventures with the Valliers
- Andy Redmond’s service tips
