Visitors to the highly successful 2014 AAPEX Show were treated to an amazing array of engine parts, fuel injectors and turbochargers to serve the “red hot” light duty diesel pickup truck market. Gaskets on diesel engines work in especially severe environments and must be designed and manufactured to OE or better standards.

At the Magnum Gaskets booth, visitors viewed Magnum's expanded offering of USA-made, top quality diesel gaskets with unique features. Magnum’s aftermarket set coverage for Ford Powerstroke V8s, GM Duramax V8s and Dodge/Cummins inline 6 engines, has doubled in 2014 and is on target to expand even more in 2015. They join Magnum’s family of gaskets for cars, trucks, high performance and heavy duty applications that now exceeds 1,000 SKU’s.

“Light duty diesel components represent one of the best growth opportunities today for the traditional aftermarket,” said Derek Data, Magnum’s Vice President.” Expanding Magnum’s light duty diesel coverage with differentiated sealing products gives our customers every possible advantage to improve their top line and bottom lines.”

Magnum maintains a “USA First” policy that gives priority to manufacturing and sourcing parts and materials in North America. More than 90 percent of Magnum products, including the entire line of Light Duty Diesel product lineup, are designed, manufactured and packaged in the U.S.A.
