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.

Got #4 today
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.

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.

Heres the link to the big red article again
