I'm done with Diesel Power Mag

There is a reason why Diesel Power resides next to my toilet now. All it's used for is something to glance though for a few minutes.

The biggest failure in that article, and ask any Detroit mechanic if you want. The series 71 Detriot was barely mention as a side note when naming the 60. Heck, without the 71, the 60, nor any other diesel we have today would be arround or even thought of as a way to transport goods. Until the 71 came out, most all heavy trucks used large gasoline engines, with only a few diesels scatttered here and there. It was the 1st widely used and accepted diesel engine in use by all forms of industrial, agricultural, and commercial haulers, and made diesel a viable, cheaper, and better design than gas in heavy applications.

i havent driven a series 60 but ive drove the others and you know why they are green? so they can hide amongst the weeds when everyone else goes by. them old oil leakers are junk in my opinion. but thats my view.

Well as far as the new series 60 not many people i know even like those motors. but that is not the problem. I have had several problems with the mag. I actually wrotye them a letter about the 1000hp cummins. they said it made 1000hp on #2 only but in the article they said it was N2O injected. Wat gives. I started reading diesel world mag and i havent looked back. .02

i definately did scratch my head wondering why the cummins was NUMBERED as <10>
the above statements about bias in mags is 100% true. its completely run off of sponsors and THEN the people who read them.
on a side note, i would like the #8 diesel engine- wartsila-sulzer (25k liter displacement)(5.6mil ft/lb torque!!!!) all at only 102RPM..... AWESOME!!!!

I did to at first until I read it again.....but thinking them putting the Cummins on opening shot was their way of saying it was THE BEST without showing partiality to the others...

Alright so I think this is a fairly hot issue here, not to add more coal to the fire, but..........
What do you guys think will be the field for the big challenge they have comming? I guess the contestants will be unvailed in the next issue. I'd imagine that you wouldn't even be considered for the challenge without your name on a receipt from banks.
