I'm done with Diesel Power Mag
Just currently purchesed the May issue of the Diesel Power Magazine and turned to the "10 best diesel engines ever" colum and was shocked to see that these engines were rated as,
10. Cummins B series
9. International DT466
8. Wartsila-Rta 96-c
7. Cat C-12
6. GM 6.6L Duramax
5. Ford 7.3l Powerstroke
4. MTU 16v-4000
3. VW 5.0L v-10
2. Detroit Series 60
1. Rudolph First Diesel Engine
How in the world can Duramax and PS be ranked higher that the Cat DT466 and the Cummins. This magazine is bias and I will no longer purchase another issue. Thanks for hearing me out

I was wondering how long it would take before somebody said something about this. I've come to the conclusion that there IDIOTS over there. And the reason I say that is because I work @ a VW dealership and the V-10 5.0L is NOT the #3 diesel engine of all time. We also sell Cheby's and the D-max is NOT #6 on the list either!

Guys, if it says "IN NO SPECIFIC ORDER" then it means "IN NO SPECIFIC ORDER". Not that I know it says "IN NO SPECIFIC ORDER", but if it does, then you can't complain. Just might mean ya'll have to read better...
If it does say "IN NO SPECIFIC ORDER", then it means that they started with Cummins ISB because everybody knew that would be on the list, and then they moved on to the rarer and more surprising engines as you read along in the magazine article...
Of course, if it doesn't say "IN NO SPECIFIC ORDER", the magazines deserve to all be stolen, fed to goats and subsequently incinerated.
