I would like to weigh in, but can't seem to buy a copy of this mag. anywhere. I look in every store that has a periodical section, no luck.

Drug stores, grocery stores, ChinaMart, no luck,

The distribution stinks so far.

I agree that the magazine has an obvious bias, but if we were in charge I think we would have a bias also. If you read every page in that magazine that had something about a Banks System on it, then you would have read half of the magazine. I notcied the write up about the first cummins powered dodge, and although I have not got a chance to sit and read it yet, I think that it will be a great article just from scanning over it.

At this point, in my opinion, it is not worth my money to subscribe.

Just to be clear..again...the first Editor has retired. It had nothing to do with anything else. Primedia is aware of the changes needed and are doing something about it. The magazines that are on the shelf now probably contain articles that where completed several months ago too.
I know they read this forum and have taken a lot of this as part of their reason for implementing the changes.

Scotty i hope you're right and the mag starts getting alittle better. the idea of a diesel magazine is cool it just seems like you have to factor in a learning curve.

PJ try looking in a book store. if you're close to a barns & noble or a similar type of store they will have the magazine. If not give me your address i'll send u my issues

I didn't resubscribe, because I wasn't reading anything that applied to me.

well its still a new publication so give it some time and take the info as ...well info. I actually emailed in and they printed my "brand loyal" email about all those fords in issue #2. I was at SEMA in nov and they were giving away buy 1yr get one free so I signed up. I also asked about the direction of the mag and they said it will be changing direction as Scotty said the old editor is gone, so we'll have to wait and see
