Okay, so those of you fellows that have the third and fourth issues...

Has any of the Ford bias gone away yet?

 

All the fuel in the world won't do you any good if it won't ignite...

The guy at Auto-Zone was determined to sell me new plugs for my PSD when he asked how many miles it had and I told him 260000, he asked if it had gotten new plugs lately, I said never... He kept pushing the Bosch ones, would have given me a little more power.

 

Picked up #4 today. Must of just came out. I haven't read through it yet, saving it for some quality reading time in the office .
Looks like the editor got a lot of crap from the non-ford folks for issue #2 (I never saw #2 myself) . He wrote an editorial on Brand Loyalty and kinda explains why the mag appeared ford biased. He's a ford guy if you didn't already know.
Anyways, he say calls it a learning experience and will be diverse on the mags coverage. In fact, they will be expanding to non-truck vehicles.
There must have been a bunch of "Dodge Guys" that complained and that was the reason why the Banks Dodge Ram was in the front of the pack in issue #3.
just thought I pass it on.

 

its Ford biased...and also biased to new diesels only as well
i visited a certain blue oval website earlier www.f---tr---s.com to get a laugh....and they never dissapoint me....fella with his new powerstroke is convinced that the last two times he filled up he's gotten 26 mpgs! ....always brightens up my day those guys

 

DSLRammin,
Did you happen to look at the pics of "Big Red", looks like Optima must be a paid advertiser as the batteries under the hood are NOT Optima Yellow tops, they appear to be Pacific ???? (something or other). Looks like a pretty unreliable source for information, as they appear to be willing to write whatever they are paid to write. NOPE, I think I'll just go on trusting the DTR folks and save my money.
