Product review: The BD TorqLoc provides additional driver control of GM's 6.5TD and 4L80-E automatic transmission by providing automatic and manual operation of the lock-up torque converter. Improved engine grade-braking and lower transmission temperatures are things all owners can appreciate while towing, and this is what the BD TorqLoc was designed to deliver.

Telescopic Trailer Towing Mirrors
By Jim Bigley

Product review: Whether trailering through congested city streets or backing into a tight mountain campsite, towing mirrors are essential. For most of us, the best towing mirrors are of the extendable/retractable variety. This is a compromise we make that provides the utility necessary when driving without a trailer and when towing. Recently, Schefenacker entered the market with their telescopic trailer towing mirrors produced expressly for the 1999-current GM Silverado/Sierra pickups and 2000-current full-size SUV's.

Product review: The Duramax 6600 diesel has a lot of untapped potential - just waiting to be unleashed. We've finally tested the latest performance module from Diesel Services Group for the Duramax 6600 that adds more capability to an already strong running powertrain. Teaming up with Van-Aaken Developments, DSG has developed a Duramax performance module that maintains important powertrain safety features, such as transmission slip protection, while delivering a smooth boost in towing power and awesome street performance.

The new DS4 electronic fuel injection pump warranty was increased to 11 years or 120,000 miles (193,000 km). The 11-year time schedule begins on the date when the vehicle first went into service, and you do not have to be the original owner. This tech page should give you a bit of insight into how to protect yourself and obtain all of the warranty coverage you are entitled to.

TheDieselPage.com Survey
Important Choices & Comments
By Jim Bigley

http://www.TheDieselPage.com/members/features/survey02.htm

We held a free Christmas drawing and survey in late 2002. That survey included a question about member interests and a section for members to add additional comments. Three hundred and twenty nine members answered the survey question, and many added comments about the web site. The results of that survey have not appeared here in The Diesel Page till now, and might be instructive at this point in time.
