Diesel Power Magazine
Has anyone read the new magazine yet? I really got a kick out "This engine proved to be every bit the success that Ford and Navistar envisioned it being; and with that, they sent the old 7.3L engine to the bench, while the newly designed Power Stroke has become Ford's go-to powerhouse player."
I just about fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard at such a bogus statement.

It's their own little promotion magazine.
I'm subscribed for '06, we'll wait to see if renewal is worth it.

I subscribed to it, but I do agree that its got WAY too much Banks advertising and Ford related stuff. Thats what we get for the magazine's former editor being a Powerstroke guy. Whats even worse is the fact that the new editor, David Kennedy, is a big time Duramax fan.

Most of the ads are for exhaust as well. How many times can we see the same exhaust system? Not much coverage from the big diesel events either. Hello IRP was packed and just about 4 pics on the event.

You never see an article in those mags about BHAFs, tone wheel mods, Donaldson mufflers or.... lift pumps other than FASS.
Why ? no revenue from advertisers.
The mags aren't concerned about helping you keep your truck running. They want you to buy stuff <you don't always need>.
Follow the paper trail.

They may send their paperwork for free, but it was the PHONE call that you made to Banks that will cost you.
