Default diesel mags

I have noticed in my area there seems to be only a few Diesel mags available at any given store. Over the past four months i have been picking them up to decide which one or ones i might subscribe to. The ones i can find for sale in my area seem to be one brand neutral, one Ford bias, and on Chevy bias, and by bias i just mean that it seems over the last four months the majority of there articles lean one way or the other.
Any know which mag or mags may be Dodge or Cummins bias.
I don"t mind reading articles about what other manufactures are doing but i would rather spend my money reading more about what i own.

Any bets on how fast there'll be one out there? But my guess is, one already is.

I would so get a subscription if it was Cummins only magazine. I'm to a point where most magazines simply suck in my opinion. I only got a subscription to Cosmopolitan (YES!) but I've had that for 3 yrs. now maybe, and I realized it's pretty much the same stuff, just reworded.
As far as truck magazines, they normally show trucks of owners with money out their *** with all this stuff done to it, which is WAY out of my range. If I'm bored, I'll look at them though.

you have to love how magazines do "budget builds". They drop in excess of 10k in parts that where probably given to them, tons of man hours at a shop that does the work for nothing so they get thier name in the mag.
Nothing against the parts manufacturer of the shop, they are actually paying just not in cash.
I try to add up all the stuff from a budget build and rarely come out less than 10k in parts alone. sometimes but not very often. Mags like to do the one article at a time thing and string it out to 3-4 articles a year and drop 2500 or so for each article.
