@@brianmerrell359 This video is only to introduce people to engines, not something in-depth. That's gonna be a later video in which he'd explain pre-chamber vs. direct injection engines.
@@electric7487 exactly
@@brianmerrell359 It’s free…
It costs 0$ in Quebec. You just need to pay the books
This guy is doing a huge solid for all of us younger mechanics that don't have the time or money to go to school, thanks man! Keep it up
You become a mechanic yet?
@@bunnyman6321 Been one. Leased a shop last month
@@cadillaccooke811 How you making out in the field?
@@bunnyman6321 Its not a short process, or a particularly easy one by any stretch of the imagination. But, it's treated me well, and hopefully my business continues to leave the ground.
@@cadillaccooke811 I hope you have much success 💰 💯
I am a 65 year old retired minister. My wife and I have a "skoolie" that I have built from the ground-up. I was a cabinet builder most of my life and I built the bus out to look like a comfortable living space for us. I knew I had to educate myself somehow on the basics of the 5.9 Cummins that powers the bus, but just didn't know where to start. You have no idea how thrilled I am to have located this series! I am binge watching and learning more than I ever thought possible in this area. Thank you from and old dog that is happy learning new tricks. You are a wonderful and very engaging teacher! God bless!
You got very lucky with a 5.9 cummins, it's one of the all time best engines and best to learn with for sure
@@oscarbear7498 I am definitely feeling smarter! LOL Old dog...new tricks thing. :)
As someone aspiring to be a diesel mechanic this was very helpful thank you
You became a diesel mechanic yet?
@@bunnyman6321 Bro are you on your way to becoming one? I'm in my senior year preparing for the diesel mech path.
@@dl4481 No I'm not becoming one in the sense of doing it for others. I learn it to fix my own stuff. I'm interested in investing in a shop though; if you looking to start your own business we can work.
That's excellent you in your senior year !
@@dl4481 I was a diesel mechanic at Penske truck leasing for 2 years, you got any questions?
@@Speakzzz could I possibly email you about how I can become one I’m a sophomore and am rlly interested in this field and would like to learn more about how I can prepare for this field
33yr mother of two starting a 2 year diesel program come august! So happy I found your channel! I’m trying to stay ahead of the game. 😊
Me 2 😂😂
You got it babez.
Thank you for taking the time and energy to spread your knowledge
And covid 19 baby! Yeehaw!
This is a really great intro to diesels starting with the historical motives behind its invention. I've been building and tuning gasoline engines racing since I was 13-14 years old. Everything I know is from hands on experience and never owned/driven a diesel I don't know much about them. My father-in-law unfortunately passed away 4 months ago. He gave me his 04 Dodge 2500 4x4 5.9l diesel that he really loved. A work horse that he took amazing care of. My son is 14 and like we all were at his age, hanging out with dad isn't "cool." lol He's going to be driving it when he gets his license under the condition he learns to properly take care of it and understand what's required to do so. It's something we're doing together. I remember how much of an impact doing things like this with my grandfather had and lessons learned that I still carry with me to this day. This level of experienced teaching is amazing to have for free. It's awesome of you to offer it! Stoked to dig into the other videos! I really appreciate the time you've put into this and the ease of following along! Thank you!
Hanging out with dad isn't cool to kids who are sent to public indoctrination camps and allowed to hang out with degenerate kids.
As someone whose dad was an English teacher... I completely agree.
The cummins is a great engine. 04 is before all the emissions bogging so you got a free breathing truck
I loved hanging out with my dad when I was 14. He never really had the energy to do anything with me though. I didn't learn to drive until I was 25.
Can't beat a free education! Thank you so much 😁
Dude you are natural instructor. Think about career change , can't turn wrench all your life 😉😉😉😉
Great videos.
Ivan Kondaurov great advice 🤝
Career*
Yea I agree, he's a natural teacher...
That will can't do, teach, but this one here can do and teach
Thanks Will, darn autocorrect crap lol
Can you please do a series explaining the air break system and how it works? It would be MUCH appreciated! Thank you for the information you've already posted, you make it so much easier to understand
I'm a diesel mechanic and this a great introduction to engines! I always enjoy and often use the information in your videos. Thank you and keep up the good work!!!
How much do they earn?
@@khutjomokabane7891 there's not really a specific salary for diesel mechanics, it all depends what type of job you're doing, what engine you're working on, how many clients you got, etc etc etc, but I will tell you that workin on a diesel engine is not cheap. Definitely very pricey and you can earn a lot of money.
@@khutjomokabane7891 I made $30/hr as a diesel mechanic, but it just depends on what tech level you are
@@khutjomokabane7891 depends on grind mindset
Just what I need. Adept Ape diesel classes 👌👌
Definitely a fan of this, even if I know how an engine works. Looking forward to the next one man
I'm in the front row with a sharpened pencil!
I’m right behind you throwing wads of paper!!
Lots of writing man, i brought tape recorder w 1TB drive 🤣🤣🤣
@@ikay2102 Work smarter, not harder! Right! You have the better idea.
@@victormcox 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
I never had an interest in Diesel Engines, but my boyfriend is a Diesel mechanic, so Watching through this course so I can understand what he's talking about. Thank you for making it so easy for someone that had minimal to no knowledge on any of this!
You're watching this stuff to be able to speak with him about his job?
@@jamestateIII to be able to not only speak to him but mainly so I can understand what he's talking about. I had no idea of anything car related, so when he talked I was lost and wasn't able to contribute to the conversation.this really helped me understand
@@JeniferTheRock do you speak to him about your interests too?
Yes
You’re a good girlfriend
As an automotive tech that may move into the diesel world, this is an amazingly digestible description of how a head and block relate to each other. I understand it with gasoline, I have an idea with diesel. The lack of electricity is the portion that throws me for a loop. The diesel 'knock' I still don't quite understand (With reference to to violence of the explosion. Under that much pressure I assume it must try to eat itself more. Gas is much more volatile, yes; but can't yet wrap my head around the pressures created). This is the first video I've seen of you and I'm excited to learn more from you. Hopefully I'll find my answer. Thanks for the posting.
Great video. I've been a diesel tech for 3 months now. I came from 12 years of automotive. I can say I've never been so happy I love going to work. Though I've rebuilt 50+ gas engines I love your videos and o wanna get to a point in diesel where I was as a auto tech
I bought my first Dump truck this past year and it is a Glider with a C15 ACERT MXS, the engine came out of a wrecked truck and it had around 400,000 miles on it. I put it on my new Glider to cut the cost of putting a rebuilt reman engine in it. It runs great and only thing I have done to it is replace two injectors. I plan on having it rebuilt whenever it goes bad, but it runs great right now. I have learned everything I know about Diesel engines from your channel, thank you!
Chief119theres a guy down in irwindale California he puts C15 engines on cascadias you would have to order one from him. He did one for my friend and its awsome
As someone coming from the humanities and having zero experience with engines, I really appreciate you starting out the class with one of my absolute favourite works of literature. Makes me feel right at home.
Been watching all three videos, you're a great teacher. Looking forward to the next one.
thid is a great way of teaching. my guitar instructor uses this same method for teaching guitar
Have you continued to learn about engines/automotive?
OG. People like you make the world go round 🙏🏼❤️
😀😀
4 years ago and still helping people out
ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!! Three years after this man posts this I am referring to it to study up for the diesel class I'll be taking in the spring, summer, and next fall! This man is single handedly saving my life hahaaaa. Keep it up!
I have very good mechanical knowledge of all motors and this was a great introduction of the basics of a 4 stroke diesel!! I’m going to watch the rest and have my probationary firefighters watch the whole series. Excellent job sir!
You don’t have shit
I purchased a bus and realized I don't know anything about diesels. So I started going to community college. I'm so lost most days. I'm the only girl in a class of auto mechanics. Your videos are a huge help! It's nice to have someone teach from a newbie prospective. Thank you!!
I really want to thank you for making these videos. I have just bought a diesel 4wd that is pulled apart because I wanted to learn how to put an engine together and found ur videos.
They are really well broken down so that everyone can understand 👌🏼
I better get on with watching the rest of your classes 👍🏼 Keep up the awesome content
I wish our high school shop teacher was worth a damn when I was there. I already know most of this stuff, but it’s refreshing hearing it explained on a beginner level, it’s nice to see somebody finally offering a series like this to beginners.
I’m truck driver for 30 years wished I went to a diesel mechanic school thanks for this free class much appreciated
Thank You... We are Homeschooling two boys one of which is like my tail when ever Im spinning a wrench. You have layed it out so an egar 11 year old can undetstand perfectly. Please keep it up I want give him the best start as possible now he knows he not loser for wanting to work with his hands verse all with computers.
tell him a doctor is a body mechanic. nothings wrong with manual labor but i tell my kids to not got for it to use their minds over their muscle.
@@MaddConnekRecordz thank you for this comment
Perfect! Covering the basics which in turn will build a great foundation of knowledge for better understand the inner working of internal combustion engine.
I’m a turbine engine mech by profession, with some SAE certs for gas engines as well, but I’ve only a passing familiarity with diesels, mainly just maintaining them, no real repair experience. I already understood the 4 cycle CI engine but I’ll tell you what, you could take an accountant, computer programmer, or an Avon sales lady and let them sit thru this video and they would come away with a working knowledge of how to create a Diesel engine. Adept Ape, to you I say if you’re not in a trade school or college teaching this material to prospective mechanics, then that is a crime against education and knowledge. You are a natural teacher, you can break things down so that the average Joe understands them. Not everyone can do that, even someone with a PhD. Well done sir, very well done. Liked and subbed! 👍
been using these videos to help me freshen up on what i learned in college a couple years ago, been out of diesel up until recently and wanted to start my apprenticeship. thanks for making these josh, learning something a second time is definitely easier than the first and i find it even easier that you're the one teaching. Thanks Josh!
You are the best teacher ever.. thanks for taking the time to show us
I'm maybe a minute into the intro and I already like this dude. Thank you for doing this!
Is it bad that I am in 8th grade watching this to try and learn more about Diesel engines and how they work… I really want to be a Diesel Mechanic thanks so much this is helping a lot and I am taking notes lol…
Dear AdeptApe,
I’ve been a fan for approximately 26 months now. I am being Specific because 26 months ago thanks to your help I was able to complete an inframe overhaul from crank bearings to head including new call and rollers.
1997 CAT C10
Unfortunately 4 days day while fully loaded (70k) heard what I though sounded like a broken serpentine belt flapping and I noticed power drop. Pulled over shut down restart heard metal knock. Pulled valve cover saw valve stem protruding 2” beyond valve spring. Called a tow truck. Further diagnosed found all 4 valve’s broken where stem meets face. Engine is maintained every 10k miles, no long idle Cat software shut her down after 5 minutes. Two days before this, the engine started giving crank but no start. With a new manually priming while cranking she started. A few hours again she did the something. After that it had seemed to fixed itself. 48 hours later ***BOOOOOM******. Please note I started using Lucus fuel treatment in the fuel against my better judgement.
I’m fixing to grab a reman head, one position pack, new head bolts, gasket, etc from CAT but would appreciate your opinion on what might have caused this so I can do my best to prevent it from happening again.
Sorry to hear that Raymond. Sounds like you may have had a defective valve seat. You might want to opt for an extended warranty on the reman head, they are relatively inexpensive.
Thank you, I have applied for a heavy diesel apprenticeship and these videos are helping me build a foundation while I wait to hear back.
Always good to brush up on theory even if you're familiar with how the engine works 👍
Lol, I'm so glad I clicked on this. I grew up being a book person but all my friends grew up with their hands on stuff under hoods, and they've tried to explain stuff like this to me countless times and my brain just doesn't grasp it. Hearing it like this from a legitimate STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 etc helps SO much, so thank you very much for making this. I'm hooked.
Fifty-three year old female retired RN learning everything she can about her diesel engine. Thanks!
Excellent video. Your channel is the best thing ever for a young truck owner! Thank you
Thank you so much! I've been working on gassers all my life and new to the diesels I just bought a 1988 f250 with a 7.3 idi and it's been messed with with the fuel and wiring system and it's been overwhelming trying to even get the courage to start taking it apart and fixing it! You are awesome man new sub! 🙌
I just started this diesel mechanic course, 18 months and I know nothing of engines. I understood the three days of class work I’ve been doing in this one video. Thanks boss man 🫡
Been out of the field for 20 years. I still love hearing this stuff. Miss it quite frankly
Love your channel Josh. I've been practicing the no idle thing for 25 years. I have a 1996 Detroit Diesel 470 with 778k on it. Had the valve train adjusted recently and a 40 year mechanic said it was the cleanest engine he's ever worked on.
What an excellent video and series and easily the quickest 25 minutes that I’ve ever spent watching a video. Thanks.
Thank you, class 2 can't wait.
Going to be a diesel mechanic in the us army. Might as well start learning now. Thanks for the great video
Hey there I'm 17 and i just want u to no that I'm learning more from you than i have every learn from any of my teacher so i just want u to know that don't stop what your doing because your helping a lot of people and teaching a lot of people and your teaching me about a lot of things I'm learning things i did not know so thank you and don't stop doing what your doing hope to meat you some day
This is really helpful, I could feel a lightbulb switch on when I started seeing how everything worked together ; you're a lifesaver!!!
Really looking forward to this series. Keep up the great work.
Was never really good at school like at all. I’ve only ever been interested in mechanical stuff. I would get this really good feeling every time I understood something in class at school. I had that same feeling all throughout this video.. thank you sir I really appreciate what your doing!❤️
So excited for these videos. I'm a new technician and your info is helping alot! Thank you! 🤘
OMG! I’m not the most intelligent individual God created. This series is awesome! I’m planning on purchasing an F250 with a 6.7.
Knowing nothing about Diesel engines I turned to this.
I am way more knowledgeable now.
Great Job!!!!
Thanks
I'm currently training to be an apprentice diesel mechanic with no background knowledge - THANK YOU!!! This is incredibly helpful
One of the best lectures I have ever watched !!
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to do this series. I so wish i had got into diesel engine repair when i was younger. I have been a mechanic in industrial equipment all my life but never chose a single field.
Long overdue. Thank you for this series.
Bro I'm 41 and am learning diesel engines for the first time, thanks so much and I subscribed. Nuff respect from Guyana...
Been driving 20 years, know some of the basics on diesels but this vid is great. Thank you very much. I am coming off the road and starting to do more mechanical work. Thanks again, much appreciated.
Looking forward to the learning about the alchemy of the fabled two stroke diesel.
Thank you for taking time to do this class , I am looking forward to them
I think this is the earliest I've ever seen a video.
You are awesome, I’ve known a little bit about engines for quite some time but being a blind wanna be diesel mechanic your videos help a lot! Thank you so much.
Omg this was so well done! Thank you for being so thorough and explaining it from start to finish because I really have never even looked at an engine before I had no idea where to start! I took tons of notes on this and it helped a ton! 😁🙌🏾
Love the video plzs keep these up I am a o/o and have a 60 sires 14 liter tring to shelf tech myself on how to work on it and doing a in frame rebuild this will make things more simple to understand
You explain it all so well so it’s easy to
understand how the Diesel engine works.
Thanks for making this video. 👏
I throughly enjoyed this class/video! I loved hearing the way you explained and illustrated it! Thank you!! I’m definitely watching more!
Thanks for doing these videos Josh. I especially like the fact you are using the K.I.S.S method to explain. Please them coming mate! I'm a Train Driver who is a part time Earthmoving Operator, so I hope your lessons will have application in that field. Cheers, Adrian Emerald Qld Australia.
K.I.S.S. - Keep It Stupid Simple!!!! ;)
Thank you sir I will be reporting to the next class.
Even with years of mechanical knowledge, This is a very good, much needed professional course.. great work..!!
Looking forward to more advanced ones, but keep them coming. I didn’t know about transmission oil until the 1970’s
As an electrician i always wanted to learn more about diesel engines as I work allot with generators
Thanks so much for making this accessable to us.
Please do one about a two stroke diesel soon thank you ❤❤
8 minutes in and I already learned a few new things!!! Love it!!!!
i own a mobile fleet repair business but i never went to school for diesel. I started with cars and light trucks and slowly adapted to heavy duty diesel and equipment. I have used this channel before when first working on cat engines and having some diag issues. This has been such a helpful channel i make my employees watch some of these videos because of the in-depth and accurate explanations that are found. Adding this class is genius although i dont need this part of class this will help so many people who want to learn !!
How you making out in business now?
Dude, You Rock!!! Thank you for taking the time to teach us. :)
Thanks for your all energy and hard working
So, I know all of this,but as you said a BEGINNING class. Very very very good and in depth..
I think that is an old 3208 piston. Just a two ringer.
I love this thank you for taking the time to explain this.! The older I get the more mechanical engineering just blows me away .it's simply amazing, it really is. I might have to do maintenance soon on a biodiesel ,hydrostatic ,small Amusement train, so I've been looking all sorts of things up lately. the hydrostatic system is very interesting as well
Thank you sir , I do appreciate the series !
Very thorough and clear-cut explanation. Looking forward to the next videos in this series!
Thank you for starting from the very basics. Exactly what I needed and what I was looking for! Now all those moving parts make sense!
thank you so very much for this content, i'm not even a mechanic, i don't even have a car, but i think about becoming a mechanic in the future, you're an EXCELENT teacher, amazing work here!
man, you just opened my mind into a whole new world
My tech school first engine course was 16 weeks. Complete tear down and rebuild...Measuring everything with mics along the way. Was boring as hell but learned alot.
Perfect baby step. Thank you, for all your hard work.
Thinking about trying to become a heavy duty mechanic for my passions of diesel motors and this is very helpful much appreciated very excited to keep learning!
love this i have been waiting for these i learn alot from you already keep up the awesome work
Can't wait to see your course from a gas mechanic's POV. Thank you for sharing your work and time with everyone.
You made all that so easy to understand, I’m glad I stumbled across your channel. I’ll watch any video u put out
Great and very knowledgable video!
Sir, you are a great teacher! You explain the lesson in such, a captivating, clear and interesting steady paced way! I enjoed every step.
Thank you much.
The Lord bless you and your loved ones. 🙋🏻♂️
Thank you for taking the time to make this vehicle we really appreciate this information.
I’m watching all your classes to help me become a diesel mechanic, you have my sub
Who could possibly give this a dislike. Solid Adept Ape, love the content.
I understand how a four stroke engine works just never realized how hard it is to explain how it works .😂 keep up the good work and thank you for taking time to pass knowledge on to others! 👍👍can’t wait for the next lesson.
Thanks for giving back to the community
You weren't lying when you said you'd explain it as if we'd never been under a hood. Mind numbingly explained in layman terms but beyond accurate I'm only commenting to let the uninitiated know this is the simplest ACCURATE explanation you will find great job brother!
Well done- Thank you for the videos!
