[SKargo]

I got my copy at the Target in Bel Air, MD. There were maybe 2 copies left.

 

[EMD Diesel Power]

I got my copy at Barnes and Noble in Appleton. Unfortunately for anybody else, I think I got the last one. I couldnt see any other copies on the stands.



No subscription cards in it, just a number.



havent read it yet. something to read before bed. Oo. Oo. :-laf :-laf

 

[MKoth]

Barnes and Noble on University Ave. in Des Moines has a few copies left as of about 9:30 pm tonight.



Really good reading, but hopefully they will gear it more towards the engine, trans, suspension tech, then just lifted trucks with diesels.

The wife picked one up for me last night @ Borders . I think it's probably the first time I was disappointed that a mountain of subscription cards didn't fall out when I opened it up :-laf .

Well, no luck at the Mason WV wal mart. I will continue the search this week.

go to krogers they seem to be the ones that carry them in our area. When i got mine i checked the shelf and there was about 5 left.

 

[DieselTweaker]

DOH... . I knew I forgot to look for something.

 

[HeavyHauler]

Just got my copy at Books-a-Million tonight and have pretty much read it cover to cover. It's pretty obvious to me that this is going to lean toward the Ferd group, as the editor has just bought a new one.



I thought the Diesel Shootout test was likely biased. I thought even the way that the Ferd article was written suggested that the writer/editor was partial to the Powerjoke.



Overall, I like the magazine so far. Lots of product reviews. Hopefully they will add more 1st person articles and do a little better on their installation articles. But the next issue isn't due to be out until the middle of June!



My suggestion - take a look at the TDR magazine as a model!



Oh yeah, anyone notice that Piers is now marketing to "Cummings" diesels. :-laf Page 18 - hope that was the editor's mistake.

free diesel power to a good home!!

well, being the good guy that i am, and looking out for other tdr members. i managed to snag another copy of diesel power. its in the package and ready for shipping if anybody wants one. i see theres quite a shortage so i figured that if it was there why not grab it, no sense in having another gas drivin hillbilly around here get it cause it has cool trucks on it. so it is free to a good home if anybody is still wanting a copy, just pm me your adress and i will send it out. i was going to put it in pay it forward but didnt seem right with a entire thread about it.

THe TDR mag is way better ... real life people not always people who have $100,000 in there truck



For anyone that has yet to see the mag.

Every other page is an AD Seriously / literaly I counted 77 ADS HAlf of them are full page ads as a matter of fact every right hand page but a few is a full page ad... ... . How ever they are diesel ads but still the mag is LIMITED TO SAY THE LEAST ...



it is the first issue tho... but an unexcusable thing happened



They Did A DIESEL SHOOT OUT



DODGE,GMC,FORD



the ford WON ... but thats not my problem... its normal to see CUMMINS PLAYER HATERS Im used to it WHY DID THE FORD WIN ... heres the results



CUMMINS WINS ALL THESE... ... .....

i know what your talking about with that. banks alone has 4 full pages, i would hate to see the cost of that!!! i have faith it will get better. more reader input will get them in the right direction. but its better than reading the tv guide.



and to think of it those test results look very familiar, i think that those numbers have already been put in a magazine. dont quote me but im gonna look in my mag pile and see. to me it looks like a re-write article. if you look its not even the new 610 dodge. i will galdly keep my cummins over the 6. 0.

[DieselMinded]

Wouldnt that just be the bee's knee's

They ran that diesel shootout in one of their sister rags a couple of months ago(Truckin',for those who don't get it) and when I read it I was amazed at how they compared the trucks. If you go back and reread what they wrote about how the interiors sit and how comfortable the "captians chairs" are along with the rea seat "looking like it was pulled from a Lincoln Town car" of the Ford its easy to see why they were so biased. As you can tell from looking at the photos of all the trucks interiors then its plain to see one of the items that killed both the Dodge and the Chevy. When a manufacturer sends a truck to test they should be required to send a "normal" optioned ride,not a special order truck like the "Harley Davidson". Its a shame when writers are so biased and do not even mention that in their article. I've been a long time subscriber to their Truckin' magazine and it also started off like this one did,hopefully this will go monthly and give us another magazine to read monthly.



Overall I felt it was well put together and had some good articles on some of the more bling,blinged out diesels in the country. The Kelderman truck is enough to make me weak in the knees and would look good in my garage,LOL. I know I'll get put to the stake for this one but Bullydog's Adrenalin Duramax is sweet looking and worthy of our attention. Not so much for its powerplant,but its attention to detail. Having never seen it in person you could only imagine how good it looks in real life. I also was amazed at how many of the ''Other" manufacturers were stepoping out into the limelight and making some kind of announcement about diesel related products they have or have upcoming as there are some in the letters area who say just that. You have to wonder why Fluidampr woould wait for this magazine to show a small add and not do any advertising in the TDR magazine prior to let those know of their new product(I know there was a thread on it recently,but,other than that not a word was said or shown).



If Primedia does a little less concentrating on lifts,bling-bling equipped trucks,biased truck showdowns and does more performance minded articles this magazine will fly off the nations shelves. I hope it gets better as time goes on as its nice to see someone other than our trusty TDR Magazine do something to show off diesel power... ... ... ... . Andy



BTW. .

If any of the TDR members here can not find them there are plenty in my area as they are not flying off the shelves here. Walmart(3 stores in the local area),K-Mart,Borders,Walden Books and the local Magazine store all had numerous copies. If you can not find one PM me and I'll slip out and get one if needed.

 

[LightmanE300]

Barnes and Noble have it - fyi to those still searching.



Why the heck are you guys buying up 'all the copies' at stores, rather than just 1? Ya don't want any of us to have a copy??

 

[GIT-R-DONE]

i know what your talking about with that. banks alone has 4 full pages

It would be a good start for them to get rid of the Banks advertising... .

 

[TJarecke]

Only one left at Wal-Mart here. I took the other. I am actually suprised that there was only 2 left. I guess there are a lot of dieselholics here too. Who knew?

 

[JLitton]

Been looking in every store in Charleston, WV with no luck... .



Oh well, I'll keep looking
