I bought the first one, seems kinda Ford biased to me, I guess since the main dude drives one.

3rd issue is officially on-sale 8/16, but should be on most newsstands this week.

Banks' 3 "sidewinder" red trucks are on the cover.

I gave up on the magazine..I've gone to over 20 places in CT from Westport to the Guilford shoreline and have not found 1. Went to a newstand I bought the first one from and he says he never got it after that time..

Subscription orders available online now! I had the same trouble finding on the stand and believe me I looked at a lot of places. I got ahold of Diesel Power Publisher (thank you very much) and got the first one, now waiting for subscription to start...

I'll probably buy the next issue, but so far the first two weren't all that exciting, unless you have a spare $100,000 to sink into redoing a truck.

The 2nd issue is the same. The mag is also biased to Banks. -:t

the second issue was talking about the rig (chevy 3500hd) that ssbc uses to haul their goodies, and they referred to it as an F-350

Yeah...I havent even read the magazine...jsut seen the covers and main article titles...get a gut feeling that it is really Ford biased. C'mon...ford already has the Powerstroke Diesel Registry (or whatever its called)...why cant the Dmax have one of its own?? BTW...i was reading a friends PSDR magazine and it had an article about "moving your 7.3 PSD radiator hose so it DOESNT pass thru the serp belt". I almost fell over laughing when I read the title and saw the picture of a 7.3 engine...sure enough...the top radiator hose goes right under the alternator and THRU the serp belt.:eek: I hope some poor guy doesnt have to change a serp belt on the side or the road! That would mean draining the coolant, taking the hose off, THEN replacing the belt. Sorry any Ford guys who read this...but that just strikes me as kinda dumb. BUT I will say that the 7.3 was a really good engine...too bad the 6.0 replaced it...:rolleyes:

Well, I'm glad I wasn't the only one to see the Ford bias, and the "give em just enough of the "other two" to get em' to buy it" attitude. Oh well, I flip through it if I see it on the shelf, and if it has something I'm interested in, I'll buy it. The second one just seemed to lean too far one way for me. It would be nice to have a Duramax magazine, or even a Silverado/GMC Truck magazine. I used to subscribe to one called Chevy Truck, but all it had was lowered trucks. At the time I had an 87 S10 Blazer w/8" of lift, 33's, V8 engine and other goodies, so no interest in the lowered stuff, and I let my subscription run out.

I see SuperDiesel has an ad in there.:D Also, West Coast Diesel Performance is in there too. Ironic though, when you see West Coast's ad(page 138, bottom left) on the right side(page 139) is PPE.:eek: :lol: Sorry, Clyde. Couldn't resist myself.

:ro) I just got the 3rd issue yesterday.It seems to have a little more GM stuff in it.I was also a little surprised that a truck our shop painted is featured in the mag on page 84.Check out page 17 also, our shop is having a show next month.

No wonder why its biased to Banks - they make most of the advertisements and pay for the mag.
Wish there would be anything neutral in this world without bias but that seems to be impossible this days...

Always Banks or K&N everywhere.... -:t
