Tenneco Automotive to Celebrate Its Millionth Monroe Reflex(TM) Unit

    LAKE FOREST, Ill., Aug. 30 The one millionth Monroe
Reflex(TM) unit is about to roll off the assembly line in Paragould, Ark.
Somewhere in North America, a lucky consumer will win free Monroe Reflex
units, including installation.  Plus, pack his or her bags for Phoenix along
with the technician who installs the millionth Reflex unit.
    To celebrate the success of the innovative Monroe Reflex(TM) shock and
struts, Tenneco Automotive will award the winning consumer and installer an
all expenses-paid trip to Phoenix, for four days of instruction at the Bob
Bondurant Racing School of High Performance Driving.  The prizes will be
awarded at a special ceremony at the installer's place of business.
    "The one millionth Reflex unit represents a great milestone for us.  We
want to thank our customers who helped get us there, as well as all the
people, from the factory floor to the thousands of countermen and installers
who helped drive our success," said Joe Pomaranski, Vice President,
Sales - North American Aftermarket.
    The winning unit will be specially labeled and boxed.  It will be tracked
by Tenneco Automotive as it moves from the manufacturing facility throughout
the distribution channel, and finally to the consumers, where it is expected
to arrive by the middle of the fourth quarter this year.
    Over the past year, hundreds of thousands of vehicles have been fitted
with the most advanced shocks and struts on the market.  Monroe Reflex(TM),
introduced in 1999, features Monroe's patented Impact Sensor(TM) technology
for drivers who demand greater stability and control without sacrificing
comfort.
