What's in Issue 55? Wal-Mart type distribution of magazines does not allow a readership to come together as an association. So, as a theme for Issue 55, we asked the writers to focus on how the TDR is different from a business model of "all things to all people."

The TDR is different. How so?

· Web Site - Without a doubt, the TDR website is the largest gathering place for the Dodge Turbo Diesel community.

· Writers – Many of the TDR writers have received an email or a phone call from a member about their articles. My thanks to the writers for their written contributions as well as their behind-the-scenes work.

· Truck Specific Columns.

· Owner Specific Columns.

· Travel Companion.

· Five Points Tour.

· Earn Your Stripes.

Besides the theme, what else can TDR readers expect in Issue 55? John Martin’s follow-up article on lube oil myths is certain to capture your interest. Is lube oil just a commodity? We’ve added a new column to track the introduction of the new 6.7 liter engine. The KORE team tackles the Baja 1000 and writes-in to tell about the adventure. And, yet again, the editor talks about biodiesel.

There is an update on premium diesel fuel (Is premium really necessary?); coverage of the Cummins V6 and V8 engine announcements; how to replace wheel bearings; all-in-all 140 pages of Turbo Diesel information.
