Anyone else automatically like when video first start cause you already know it's gonna be good lol
For sure
Yup😃
haha already commenting thanks because of the first one. We can legit become diesel fitters if this guy posts enough videos. We buy a diesel engine car and take it apart and see what he is talking about!
😂😂😂yep!
I did
I'm a 27 year mechanic, this free education is better than any school you'd go to and pay for it for 15 years, good job sir and thanks for helping people.
You are literally the very idea that I envisioned online videos to be used for as an alternative to college courses. I hope that you have seen prosperity both financially and spiritually because of this. Knowledge is the basis for opportunity and evolution. And you gave it for free. Thank you.
Too deep? Maybe so. 🤣
From whaling to valve springs in an hour over two classes - absolutely love it! Wanting to get an understanding of diesel engines for blue water sailing and it's been really challenging to find a way in with affordable self-study and no access to mentors/teachers. I feel like I can get a general understanding of basic components to provide much needed context before trying to do a deeper dive on particular engines. Thanks so much! Super generous of you!
I'm a mechanic with 20 years of experience, but I'm looking anyway! Great explained !!! :) :) :)
Just wanted to say that your channel is one of many things that made me want to become a "diesel mechanic", so now I'm at a company working on Scania buses, some Volvos too. This is in Sweden so no peterbuilt or CAT really
Well hopefully you like the career. I'm amazed how early your comment on this video was. I was staring at RUclips waiting for it to get to 100%, your comment was on the video before it even showed the video posted lol. Anyway, thanks for commenting.
@@AdeptApe I really like it at the moment, I'm more educated towards hydraulic diesels for wheel loaders and such but sometimes you don't get exactly what you want
Great video keep them coming
Nothing wrong with volvos and the like. Im a volvo mechanic and the trucks are unreal
We have some Kalmar machines in Seattle and its really hard to find maintenance info on some of their older top handlers (for containers)
The way you thoroughly dissected the topic , in order , in simple terms and in 25 minutes is incredible. I just want to say thank you 🙏🏽
I'm at the point I can tear down a c15 and rebuilt it in 23 minutes with this man's tutorials great explanation 👍 on all your uploads keep it up
I’ve always had a passion for mechanics and enjoyed working on my cars over the years. Two years ago, I transitioned into the trucking industry, and five months ago, I bought my first truck. This is how I came across your videos. They’ve been incredibly helpful! I plan to working on truck for all minor repairs and medium repairs, and your content provides a solid foundation to learn the fundamentals. Thank you!
I figured this out changing valve stem seals on a Mercedes OM617- great example of a simple and iconic diesel engine design.
I'm in the Philippines, middle of nowhere and recently bought a 6KW diesel genset; there is no-one in this area that works on diesel engines because the majority of vehicles and gens run on gas. So I need to get on the learning curve in terms of maintenance and rectification. I love the pace and delivery of this course, well done for a good job!
Thank you so much. You are a natural teacher. Someone like you should be highly paid teaching future diesel mechanics
Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge on diesel engines. This will help me provide for my family in the future
Gonna be starting my diesel mechanic career soon, ima lil nervous with no mechanical background. But these videos really helping me out and I’m here for it 🤙🏾 21 years old btw
Don’t be nervous man. I started two years ago with no experience or mechanical background at 30. Now I make double what I made two years ago, work in a great shop and am on my way to getting tons of certifications. You got this man! Don’t give up. Stick with it.
THANK YOU FOR THIS SERIES ❤ I can't even explain how excited I am to find a 101 course for free 🎉🎉🎉
Wow, best of best , taking notes on real note book.
Spreading sharing knowledge is like giving actual money and Josh you gave me at least 2000 dollars or more , I saved that much money by working on my C15 , thanks a lot
Another great installment! Can't wait for the next one.
Love the video better yet all your videos!! I’m excited that you started this series and the way you make things so simple to understand. However that was the quickest 23 minutes of my life and am sad it’s done 😢. Can’t wait for the next installment, keep up the great work!
Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you feel that way, but during editing I had to watch this video about 6 times, so it is the longest 23 minutes of my life.
@@AdeptApe 😂
Excellent presentation...Been in a lot of classes over the years, you'd make a great instructor. It's one thing to be able to work on it, but to be able to explain it is another skill. Appreciate the time you put into this!
HELLO, I'M A LIFE LONG NON CERTIFIED MECHANIC OF 45+ YEARS. I'M SO GRATEFUL TO FIND YOUR CHANNEL TO FINALY LEARN THE DIESEL SIDE OF THINGS WHICH I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE SOUND OF DIESEL. ALWAYS WANTED A DIESEL BUT MY LATE WISE DAD TALKED ME OUT OF DUE TO LACK OF KNOWLEGE AND EXPERIENCE. I REALLY WANT A SPRINTER 2.1 DIESEL, SO THIS CLASS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE HOPED FOR. THANK YOU! NEW SUB. FROM THE 641...
Hands of a surgeon.
I'm waiting for episode 3! You are phenomenal at teaching this. Thank you, i knew nothing beford this. I didn't even know the enginr was what powered to turn thd wheels. I was completely clueless to how things worked.
Thank you for these videos. I'm enrolled in a truck mechanic program and your videos are definitely helping me understand better then some of my professors
I have just finished my diesel mechanic apprenticeship recently and am diagnosing trucks on my own now. Of course my mentor is still in the shop around me if I ever have any questions. But I just want to thank you so much for these videos because they have helped me get a better understanding of these engines so that I dont have to annoy my mentor with a billion questions all the time (even though he loves talking about stuff). Thank you Sir and I look forward to any videos you have coming out in the future =]
Well done again. Ive been at this since 1969 and this is a very well done refresher.
My C15 is in the shop now for worn valves. Scheduled an overhead adjustment, couldn't get the feelers under the rocker properly, which lets you know the valve stem was too high! Could have been bad if wasn't caught. Thanks for the video!
I have C-12, I went in for bad injector and rack adjustment. Found 2 broken valve springs, worn out rod bearings, 2 cam lobes 25% , camshaft, 2 locked up rocker rollers. Lol
Just like said, caught in time....
@@ikay2102 it's just money.... right?!!!😂
U got it man. 19K at the end...
If I had teachers like you I wouldn't have dropped out of high school
Thank you man you make me understand stuff that I don’t in school!
Really like how you explain everything so clearly and with pictures and actual parts. Learning so much 🤙🏼
Onto the next vid
Wow. I'M the guy that you're doing this video for. I'm learning about diesels and have NEVER been under the hood of one before. This is awesome and I can't thank you enough for making these videos.
Really great teaching, way of explaining things, literally and theoretically etc. Great work, thank you.
I been looking for informative material that doesnt sound like a foreign language. I dont have a lot of mechanical experience with diesel engines and dont know a lot of technical terms and this KISS method type style definitely makes it easy to understand
Absolutely beautifully made. Thank yoy
I have to learn how diesel engines work for a Coxswain course Im doing. After watching your videos Im confident of breaking through the assesment. Thanks a lot.
Here in 2022!! Great material Adept Ape
Thanks again for taking the time to do these videos. Lots of great detail in components and operation. I saw this uploaded late at night , it seems like a lot of work on top of your day job. You are generous with your time educating people.
Thank you for this series! I am currently taking online diesel tech classes and your videos help tie things together very nicely. Keep up the great work!
I am 13 years old and the way that he is explaining it is just easy to understand and just between the first video and this video I have learned so much
Loving this primer on Diesel engines. In my mid 40’s, worked on all my own small and car and truck gas engines all my life. Wanting to understand the basics of diesel systems to expand my knowledge. Thanks for taking the time to teach and record and share your knowledge!
Thank you Josh for another wonderful diesel engine video. Great job sir, TMP from N.J.
I so appreciate these classes! I just purchased a 19' L5P and love it. Thanks so much for taking time out of.your day to do this for us.
Good video with one exception... the reason a gas engine's head is not flat has nothing to do with compression ratios. A gas engine's piston is usually flat or domed outward while a diesel engine piston is usually carved out with a cone shape in it. It has more to do with how the spark travels from the spark plug through the mixture and how it buns than compression. It's the whole reason behind the Hemi engine. You could change the compression ration much cheaper and easier by changing the connecting rod length to alter the amount of space between the piston and head at TDC..
Great video Josh.
I like how you kept straight face when kids were going nuts on back ground 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Well It was either work on the video with them home or not make one. Need to keep posting regardless.
@@AdeptApekeep going what is best for your family. We understand:))
Love your work.
Brilliant. Thank you. I bought a skoolie and am learning how to take care of it. You are a very good teacher, easy to listen to and very clear explanations. Again. Thank You
Love the illustrations. Makes it a lot easier to understand and follow along. Thanks for another great video👍🏼
i love you lady trucker your sexy as hell
@@tyronedaniel65 boyyy quit playin
Thank you for taking the time to explain the concept SLOOOWLY thus allowing for good intake and processing of information and reducing the brain combustion caused by excess information. I too have a dog named Buddy. Also, I am thinking about switching careers. In my younger years I used to be interested in how the human mind and body function. As I got older I became interested in how things work and began to evolve in a completely different direction. I began searching youtube for diesel engine concepts and found myself enjoying your videos. You do a great job at explaining complex topics in a way that is easy to understand. Ever thought of becoming a diesel mechanic instructor?
This is an awesome group of videos, keep em’ coming. I’m an advanced tec but love hearing the info.
I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your really helping out people who don't understand this.
I love your channel and educational videos. I started a diesel technology course but struggled with some things because it wasn't "dumbed down" enough for me. Not that I'm not intelligent, it's just that my strong points are were always linear subjects.... anything that gets you from point a to b with the simple use of logic. This is a vast course with so many components and you have helped me keep interest and understand so much more. I appreciate you.
Good job explaining things. Always had a rough idea of how these things worked. Being able to visually see it all makes a lot more sense. Thanks for putting the videos out look forward to watching the rest of them.
thank you sooo much for these series. I have no knowledge about how an engine works and not much money to spend. YOU SAVED ME!
Best explanation on how engines work ever!! Better than any school. Great job my man
at the start I thought this video is not worth watching, at last it is really worth watching. Much knowledge in this video
Thanks a lot Josh for finding the time to make these videos. I appreciate you a lot and it doesn't matter how long it takes, just keep'em coming please, they help me out a lot.
Thanks for your videos and for sharing your knowledge to the world
This is awesome! I can't wait to see all the videos. Looking forward to learning as much as I can.
This is great stuff! I actually understand quite a bit now. I didn't know what a cam shaft did before and how the cylinder head/valves functioned etc.
The timing on this discovered course is perfect for my use, thx man
I would say this is pre 101 diesel engines. It gets a little more difficult when fuel injection systems are explained. I haven't worked in the industry for more than ten years and at that time there were four basic systems: unit injectors (Detroit and some Caterpillar), pressure timed (Cummins), injection pumps inline and rotary for many kinds of engines, and of course HEUI ( hydraulics electronic unit injectors) which were found in Caterpillar, international, and Ford power-stroke. All of them use some sort of fuel system to inject high pressure atomized fuel into the cylinder using a cam of sorts but HEUI's do not use a cam for high pressure injection but instead use high pressure hydraulic oil for injection. Today diesel engines are quieter using some sort flame timing to eliminate that diesel knock. And of course soot has been a major topic of concern and technologies to lower soot levels.
I’m a motorcycle mechanic, good video easy to understand your reasoning and yeah I saw that scored bore right away : )
Thanks
You make it very easy to understand. Cant wait for the next video
Very well explained I knew a lot of these parts but not exactly how they work with each other. Great vids keep doing them!!
Being a diesel mechanic is easy because they never break. They never break because the parts are bigger. More robust.
Very happy with my free course watching you from Mexico :)
Really looking forward to the super advanced stuff, LOTS of good knowledge rattling around in your head!
Thanks for such a helpful well thought out explanation.
One cat dealership mechanic to another, your videos are awesome!
Once more, I would like to thank you for a job well done! I enjoyed your explanation and training material very much. Please keep it up.
Good Job! Thanks, and looking forward to the next one.
Thanks. I like how you connect the basic concepts with actual engine parts.
You’re an excellent teacher!!! I find your instructional videos to be very informative. Thank you for making them.
Just wanted to say thanks for these videos!
Awesome! Well done. Looking forward to class 3. Thanks for your hard work and efforts in putting your videos together.
Thumbs up because he didnt do his tics in this video, unlike in last part of class 1.
Thank you so much for putting these videos together. Much appreciated! Using quite a few them in the Equipment operation and preventative maintenance class it teach.
Great videos . Electrician here working on power generation 👍🏻
Very good continue to educate the public priceless job BLESSINGS
Josh u r a genius another very well prepared class love it can't wait for the next one 🤓👀
Thank you, not sure about the genius part though.
The hose bib is a valve too. The internal of that hose bib is very similar
looking forward for Class 3.
Great video I’m about to start tech school In April!
How’s tech school going?
Excellent class , I wanna see them all
Super enjoy this video, can't wait for episode 3. Thanks alot sir.
Great content this is extremely helpful.
Thank you so much for this! Very informative and easy to follow.
Appreciate this keep up the great work
