Thank You the Owner-Operators of the United States and several of you from other countries through out the world.For 30 years we a Diesel Injection of Pittsburgh have enjoyed helping you to enjoy the experience of driving your trucks by engineering ways of making excessive horsepower be economical along with providing extended years of service to the engine between rebuilds.If you were to add together the years of service that Gary, Pete, Pat, Brian, Shawn and myself have devoted to this industry it would total 129 years of diesel engine experience.It has been our life’s work and we have put our hearts into this phase of trucking just like you have put you heart and life into trucking.Well the time has come for us to move on, we are leaving the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania area and moving 20 miles north out into the country in a truck friendly Industrial Park in Saxonburg, Pa.

We are dropping the name of Diesel Injection and going by the name of our computer, Pittsburgh Power.
Our new neighbor right across the street is RAM Trucking and the new address of Pittsburgh Power Inc. will be 3600 South Noah Dr. Victory Road Industrial Park,Saxonburg, Pa. 16056.We are dropping the name of Diesel Injection and going by the name of our computer, Pittsburgh Power. The best way to get to our new facility is to exit the Pa. Turnpike at exit 38, take Rt.8 north towards Butler to Rt. 228 East 4 miles to the traffic light, the only one in the entire community, go left 1/4 mile to Victory Road Ind.Park and make a right onto S. Noah Drive and we are at the end of the road.We now have 3.5 acres of parking and easy access to our facility. No more parking problems, no more residential homes with people that don't like trucks, and no more train horns blasting our ears.

Our new facility is 14,375 sq. ft. and has 6 semi truck bays and 4 pickup truck bays, a large parts department, drivers lounge with a couch with 2 reclining sections, desk, television, bathroom and shower.We have a conference room, lunch room, fuel injections shop, and 9 offices. After 30 years in a small building we are looking forward to moving to this new facility.

We continue to strive to produce the best in high performance diesel engine systems and are currently working on the DD5 EGR 15 Liter Detroits, and the ISX Cummins to produce a Pittsburgh Power Performance Computer and have several on the road right now for testing. Turbochargers, the better the turbo flows, the better the fuel mileage,and the lower the exhaust temperature, and we are always trying to improve the turbos for the high performance engines.The same goes with mufflers, they have to flow or they will rob the engine of fuel mileage. The FASS Fuel System, removing air from diesel fuel allows the engine to run smoother, pull better and obtain about 2 to 3 tenths mile per gallon.Its an absolute must for the BXS Acert Cats.The Mercury filled crankshaft balancers will also extend the life of the truck by making everything smoother.Products like these make driving a truck more pleasurable.

Now more than ever we need your parts business.If your rebuilding your engine we can supply you with ceramic and Teflon coated pistons, high flow injectors, nozzles, performance turbos, Power Computers, rod and main bearings and a host of other parts.Your continued parts business keeps us going.Owner-Operators are our only customers and with out your parts business we can’t stay in business.As we enter into a new facility we will need a few more high performance oriented diesel engine technicians.We are looking for young, clean-cut, non-smoking aggressive techs that love high performance diesel engines, truck pulling and racing. I’m 58, my body is slowing down, wants to take a nap around 3 pm every day, and I want to see the world of high performance diesel engines continue, so now in the new facility is the time to start the next generation of diesel engine tecks.Our youngest employee is 19years old, right out of Lenapee Vo-Tech School and a 23-year-old mechanical engineer from the University of Pittsburgh.As you can see we have started building the next generation of performance diesel tecks, however we could use a few more young men.We also need a person in the parts department familiar with shipping and receiving and the use of Fed-Ex and UPS systems.

Our new phone number will be 724-360-4080, so the only difference is the360 in the number, which is the cu. in. of the Cummins B Engine in the Dodge Pickups.

One last item, we will once again be back into the high performance diesel pickup truck arena, we started the performance pickup revolution in the USA, dropped it because of limited space and employees in the old shop, now with 4 pick up bays in the new facility, we will once again bed eveloping and installing performance systems on these trucks. We will also be working on motor homes and have installed 2 RV sites for any vehicle that can utilize hoop-ups.In the near future we may be installing APU’s on semi trucks and will need a tech just for that function.

Once again, Thank You for your past business and we look forward to serving you in the future for the next 30 years.

Alban Engines Power Days are coming soon once again, October 20th. at their new facility in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.Come and chat with us and other owner-operators about high performance diesel engines.
