Well I just got back from WalMart and checking out the new Diesel Power Magazine. Think it's a keeper this month. There is about 1/3 of it devoted to the Cummins. A couple articles that look good, some history and some good pictures.
I didn't have time to read it at the store so I'll look at it tonight.

It looks like they are finally listening to the readers. Hopefully the stories are good.

It looks like they are trying to cover the diesel market both here and other parts of the planet. About time.

We'll see later tonight.

 

the article on the cumins B series is good but i think they messed up they said dodge didnt start to offer the 6 speed until 2001 i have a 6speed and its a 2000 made in 99

 

they still like to show people that they are ford fans... i guess i like dodge to much i don't know

 

The six apeed debuted with the 24v engine (or possibly in 99, a half year late), but most people don't realize it...

 

Agreed! Just got mine in the mail today.

 

I'm appreciating the mag more and more every month. Ya gotta admit, there's only so much history to Cummins then what will you get if you report all the Cummins info first? Everything else, then you lose yer Cummins people. I'll read the diesel airplane motor story tomorrow...gotta nice cutaway too, I wondered how they connect all those connecting rods of a multi-cylinder radial engine on one rod journal.

 

love the magizine. saw where they did a dyno with quads box and did over 400hp. Just hope mine will do that, im going to the quad by its self then turn on the crazzy larry with it for another run. I guess ill know april 1st.

 

the crankshaft is shaped like a 9-point star. each rod connects to the tip of a point, not the actual journal

 

yup its getting alot better, well for us Cummins owners anyway. I got a sweet deal on a 2yr subscription @ SEMA so it better be good Not sure what Banks payroll is but its gatta be huge with all those annoying ads

 

They're getting better now that they changed head Editors. The first editor was Ferd crazy and didn't publish anything else but Ferd stuff.

 

Hi
You guys talkin' about March or April?
I saw the mag last month, didn't buy,
maybe this month..
thanks

 

Once again, e-mail them http://www.dieselpowermag.com/ with concerns/compliments. I did when it first came out, about their lack of Cummins info, and again when they stepped up, including my decision to subscribe, due to Cummins being included. Remember it's not a Cummins magazine, it's meant for all diesel enthuiasts, so we have to accept the other brands being included, but we can expect equal coverage.

As far as Banks bashing, GET OVER IT. He's done a lot for diesel performance, including making it mainstream. There might not be a magazine at all, if not for him, and you might still be driving a gasser, instead of a "smelly, noisy, slow" diesel. He has a right to charge whatever he wants, and you have a right to not pay that much. He makes interesting parts, and is often in the forefront of the industry. I want to see his Duramax road racer run, even though I wish he'd used a Dodge.
I don't have any Banks parts, and don't expect to, I just don't understand the hatred of him.

 

I have to say now I am gllad i subscribed. The def. made up for the Ford frenzy issue.

 

Wow.

Ya'll are pretty forgiving, you know that? They throw you a Dodge issue and you're totally fine.



Ford people, meanwhile, are now on the verge of cancelling their subscriptions.
