You better restore that D-9 to a like better than new, Matt! $6500+ for the turbo rebuild makes that machine priceless as well as irreparable from this moment on!
I'm a retired engineer... and SCCA racer. I know the tik-tok weirdo crowd would look right past this sort of video. I found this utterly fascinating. This is engine porn at it's best. I can't imagine there are more than 3 places on the planet who could do this work... let alone "WOULD" do this work. This is a one of a kind repair in this era. Thank you ADS for putting this out.
I also watch TikTok, and I agree, it's very different content. TikTok I can watch during my break at work, but this I have to sit down to watch and take some time.
@@ericwebster6911 Because Tiktok is short form, made specifically for the kind of young people who have normalized attention deficit disorder. They are too stupid and too addled to appreciate in depth detail. They're the kind of morons who complain about having to read in video games. They're the kind of people who adopt causes they can't be bothered to research the specifics of. They're the kind of people destroying the world.
3825 for a turbo and 3500 for a dozer leaves about $500,000 of headroom before you hit the cost of a new dozer. So if Matt’s salvaged machine pushes dirt for a couple years, he’s coming out way ahead!
A new D8 is over a mill. And that was when I checked 6 years ago on a new D8T. If that old girl runs halfway to ok, and he doesn't mind the lack of HVAC in a sealed cab, then ride on!
I would like to point out that despite always mentioning that the experts know much more than he does, the excellent narrator/host knows precisely what is going on at every juncture to the point of explaining everything in intricate detail. Well done!!
In a dimly lit workshop, the air was thick with anticipation as the camera rolled, capturing every moment of what promised to be an extraordinary event. The stage was set for a turbo teardown like no other, a masterpiece of engineering unraveling before the eyes of millions of viewers on the RUclips channel, Diesel Creek. Leading the charge was Area Diesel Service, a beacon of excellence in the world of diesel repair. With their cutting-edge technology and skilled technicians, they were about to perform a feat that would leave the audience in awe. The turbo sat before them, a complex maze of components, precision engineering, and untapped potential. As the technicians prepared their tools, a sense of excitement filled the room. The teardown was about to begin, and Diesel Creek's subscribers were in for a treat. With deft hands and meticulous attention, the technicians dismantled the turbo piece by piece. Every bolt, every gear, and every blade was carefully inspected, revealing the intricate design that powered diesel engines to perform at their peak. As the camera zoomed in, viewers were treated to a front-row seat, witnessing the cutting-edge repair job unfold with unparalleled expertise. Each component was assessed, and the technicians explained the significance of their findings, shedding light on the magic that happened within the turbo's core. Throughout the process, Diesel Creek's host, Matt Diesel Creek, kept the viewers engaged, asking insightful questions and soaking in every detail. The level of skill displayed by Area Diesel Service left him visibly impressed, and his enthusiasm was palpable. In the blink of an eye, the turbo had been taken apart, its secrets laid bare for all to see. It was now time for the repair, the true test of Area Diesel Service's prowess. Using state-of-the-art equipment and cutting-edge techniques, the technicians meticulously reassembled the turbo, ensuring precision alignment and optimal performance. With each step, the turbo came to life once again, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. The hum of the workshop blended with the whirr of the turbo, creating a symphony of diesel power. The moment of truth arrived as the engine was fired up. The turbo spooled, and its blades spun with flawless precision. A cheer erupted in the workshop, echoed by Diesel Creek's virtual audience, as they witnessed the turbo's rebirth in all its cutting-edge glory. The video ended with a resounding success, the turbo teardown and repair earning accolades from viewers worldwide. Area Diesel Service had once again proven why they were at the forefront of diesel repair, delivering cutting-edge results that left everyone in awe. As the RUclips channel Diesel Creek and Area Diesel Service basked in the glory of their achievement, they knew they had delivered an unforgettable experience-one that showcased the beauty of engineering and the magic of cutting-edge repairs. Their collaboration had left an indelible mark on the world of diesel enthusiasts, setting a new standard for excellence and leaving the audience eagerly anticipating the next feat that Diesel Creek and Area Diesel Service would conquer together.
Nicely written. I will wait for several hundred of tons of rock filled dirt removed and relocated before I make my judgement on the quality of workmanship. Just saying.
You are the gold standard of a business! In my 73 years I have never seen any operation more customer friendly and professional. I’m a devoted DC viewer and ADS will be too.
Please tell the guys thanks for allowing you to film them working. Love to watch masters work. You guys do a great job. I have some injectors and pump that need going over. Thanks
I am really impressed, not only with the expertise of the folks that are working on such repairs, but also the extremely well done explanation and straightforward commentary that Curtis brought to this video. Well done, everyone!
This is the definition of working without a net. Your crew did a great job. This is from a 50 year experience mechanic with Cat dealership and mine maintenance supervisory positions in the mix. Fine work.
Taking pride in a job well done is not a sin. Thank you for taking time to put a $ value to your work, it seemed a very reasonable price, for the breadth work and depth of skill and knowledge.
Thanks to all your employees who let us see the work and the equipment they are using to do their expert tasks. Nice job, showing once again, almost anything is possible given enough time and money (and a few saved ancient parts!),
I just wanted to stop by and thank you for supporting many of my most favorite RUclipsrs. I’ve never heard anything but rave reviews about your customer service and quality of work. Everyone says that you always go above and beyond. It’s great to know that there are still people and companies like you/yours that are out there bending over backwards to keep their customers happy and working. And, by trickle down default, you keep America working. God Bless You, and God Bless America 🇺🇸
Awesome work, guys! It's great to see old out of date equipment being able to be reconditioned and resurrected for service again. Something that is getting rarer to see in this modern throw away society. Keep up the great work. Watching this from Australia👍
@@cujoedaman so if Area Diesel didn't have the foresight to hang on to a heap of old parts with the idea of "we may need this one day" then I dare say the outcome for Matt's turbo wouldn't have been so positive. You need the space to hoard a lot of these "just in case" parts. Just great service though.
As a parachute rigger, I truely appreciate precise and accurate work. I have watched vintage aircraft restoration and you guys are at that level of expertise.
I know nothing about turbo's, nor will i probably never work on one, but its so facinating so see professionals like you guys over at ADS, amazing video from Norway :)
Curtis does a great job communicating the various processes to the audience. Also, Matt is lucky to have ADS who were probably one of the few on the planet who could have gotten this done. Great job!
Honestly, that's not too terrible a cost considering how expensive variable geometry turbos are for modern engines. I know Cummins is proud of their Holset VGTs.
What a great comprehensive video. Loved every minute of it !!!! You guys are true craftsmen and it was also good to see you tapping in to the three wise men for their priceless knowledge and input. You can't buy wisdom. Sometimes cost isn't everything and although it probably wasn't worth fixing in a monetary sense, I'm glad you went ahead and showed us the restoration process. I just subscribed because I want see more of you guys in action. I'm in my 60's and I hope to see you do more of this old unsupported stuff.
I'm a fan of Matt's channel, he's a great guy, and a competent mechanic. Having machinist training, and some engineering schooling, I see that your crew is definitely worth their pay, and I know that the CNC machine tools you have are not cheap. The Leadwell MCVOP that I trained on was $500,000 and it was old by modern standards. Hats off to you! 🙂
Fantastic work. I'm grateful to Matt from Diesel Creek for leading me to this channel. Those who enjoy this type of content might also enjoy the content on the Australian channel Cutting Edge Engineering, @CuttingEdgeEngineering
I personally am Very Happy about the relationship your company and Matt have started !! I'm guessing it's a new relationship? Either way, for us detailed oriented people? We Love The Collaboration. Matt wisdom is amazing for his age. And to join forces with a detailed orientated company like yours ? Is Exciting !! And has to be great for your company !!?
Great video. True craftsmen at work here. I am a retired instrumentation/control systems tech and thoroughly enjoyed this video. And I found out I am only 21 miles south of you guys. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Fascinating video. One of the best I've seen in a long time. Excellent end to end coverage and very in depth. Thanks to the 3 'old minds' for their input and all the staff who worked on this old 'pig' haha. And of course to our fine host and presenter Curtis!
Very Nice, Good Job to all, great indepth explaination of a turbo rebuild. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I hope Mat makes a install video.
Came over from Diesel Creek to watch the repair on Matt's turbo, jeez I had no idea as to it entailed. it was hugely entertaining watching the process, added to that the level of expertise of everyone involved, plus having not one, but two complete turbo's from a 1960s era machine for any spares needed, incredible video, well done to all.
Just found your channel via diesel Creek and I love it. You do such a great job explaining the process and breaking it down Barney style like we used to say in the army. Your company is very knowledgeable and does quality work
Matt is the best of what he does. Before he started that RUclips channel, he was a heavy equipment operator for a construction company. What equipment he was using was an excavator. I was watching him for a few years. One of the first projects he was working on was that place he was converting into an apartment. He eventually sold it because it had issues. He devoted the time he had on buying construction equipment and getting the engines started in them. Every time he bought more equipment, all those engines in them started. What was the first project he did when I started watching those videos he posted? If was possibly the Autocar heavy-duty truck. He said in that video that his grandfather drove one of them. That's the reason why he bought that truck. So he bought that D8 CAT, and that turbocharger was in need of newer parts. The man at the start of this video had his hand on the box, which was when I stopped the video. It's time to continue watching it.
If I had a dozer that ran and could do work I would easily spend that much to fix it. That size of dozer can do a lot of work! The rent on a big newer D8 or larger dozer would eat that much money the first day.
The skills your guys have are sadly fading with time but it's so good to watch them work. Like Matt, to get something working again after so many years is a fine art that your people use to the utmost. Thanks for the video and I'll look forward to many more.
My grandfather after WWII opened up a service center and most dealt with Caterpillar. I have 3 brand new in crate pony motors and a pole barn full of caterpillar parts and engines from when my grandfather had his service center from 1949 to 1975 here in Northern Illinois I can almost bet I might be able to find a turbo. It'll take me a weekend
Liked and subbed via Matt from Diesel Creek, awesome job nice to watch people who take pride in there work and saving old equipment from the scrap yard bringing them back from the grave, so much work from a whole crew of experts in there craft to pull this job off amazing work.
For all that work the price is extremely reasonable. I collect all kinds of antiques so I understand what it costs to fix things that are no longer made. Great job and I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Thanks for a great video. It's good to see a company that keeps all their obsolete parts. There are a lot of places that dump parts after so long as they think no one will want them. Places like yours make it a bit easier for people to keep the old gear going and preserve history. Thankyou.
I came to this video from Diesel Creek and saw it was ~2 hrs and thought I would skip around, but the video was so fascinating that I watched ALL of it. A beautiful job, you guys know what you're doing! I would say that $3850 was a bargain for the required work! Thanks for recording, editing and posting this video, we know it is hard work!
It was surprising to hear you say several times the"parts are not supported" and "can't get the hard parts anymore". After a quick check on Caterpillar's on-line parts system I learned the 0R5838 complete Reman turbocharger is available as well as individual pieces like bearings, nozzle rings, shims, rings, and more. Please check with your Caterpillar dealer for individual parts to help you with the next old rebuild like this.
it was good seeing Val , my dad took inj. pumps etc to him back when he first set up shop back in the early 70s , dad had Allis tractors so he gave Val plenty of business lol , Great video love the behind the scenes stuff you dont normally see and i like knowin what the finished product cost which is usually something never discussed on other channels , keep up the good work gentleman ! i have a MM G1000 i may bring the pump and injectors over to have gone thru some day
thanks for the video! its still a little awkward but your not used to being on camera so that will change. it is interesting to follow a build and then see a part come to you for in a way a complete new sub project on the build to eventually hopefully end up in a new running vehicle.
I have been operating on about 3 hours of sleep over the last two days (it sucks being old and sick), and I started watching this over breakfast. I am 53:34 into the video, and my eyes and body tell me to return to bed. I will save this video and pick it back up at lunchtime. Thanks to Matt for posting the link to your channel. Subscribed and already addicted. I relied on Grammarly to repair all of the mistakes in my post.
I worked for a Caterpillar dealership in the late 1970s. The area I worked in, built natural gas compressors, powered by natural gas burning engines. The mag and turbo shop, rebuilt so many of these things that we had two guys working full time on them from a pile of cores. They were easy to repair, but ... they had parts. You did a great job on this unit.
You and your crew do a GREAT job reworking old machines. I have a question, being a now retired machinist and love to work on old cars and engines myself, I am wondering why you ground the shaft before straightening it? Now the shaft grinds are not true.
Good eye. Great question. Straightening is in fact first. Then grind, polish, and balance. We had wheels chucked in each machine for video production and so we could get in and out of the machine shop quickly and we captured the processes out of order. Are you looking for a job? Your attention to detail is what we look for at Area Diesel Service.
@@AreaDieselService LOL, If I was in my 20's or 30's I'd say yes but I am a retired machinist now. Thank you for the offer tho. So it is the editor's mistake or just not knowing the correct procedure. Have a great day guys ! And remember, I'm watching you :)
I like that you guys are willing to rebuild something that is obsolete. If you took that to most other shops they'd send you back out the door bcuz they couldn't order parts.
That looks like an expensive repair I would think with all the diesel shops and companies that someone would make a turbo that could replace the original Style, of course that wouldn't be cheap either. These guys go by my dad's rule don't ever throw anything away you may need it sometime
I first heard about your company when wes came there and did a video/interview. You sure can get the job done. Can you tell me if external injector lines for the old Cummins Diesel NH 220 series are still available? Thank you and thanks for gettin Matts tractor running. Bill
Thanks for fixing it up!!! she sounds great now!
You bet! Our pleasure!
What, you didn't like the self destruct mode?!
You better restore that D-9 to a like better than new, Matt! $6500+ for the turbo rebuild makes that machine priceless as well as irreparable from this moment on!
Thanks for the behind the scenes

I have t shirts that say “Old Guys Rule” and this video proves just that!
fantastic job. DieselCreek will be proud of your service.
The repair costs.🤔 I hope MAD can earn the money back again with jobs for this Cat Dozer. -
I knew what a turbocharger was and what it did, but I had never seen one taken apart and rebuilt. Great video!!!
Great job we need more service providers like you.
I came to this video from Diesel Creek and saw it was ~2 hrs and thought I would skip around, but the video was so fascinating that I watched ALL of it. A beautiful job, you guys know what you're doing! I would say that $3850 was a bargain for the required work! Thanks for recording, editing and posting this video, we know it is hard work!
You have a very good crew to do what you do and thank you for being there to work on the old parts nobody wants to mess with
It was surprising to hear you say several times the"parts are not supported" and "can't get the hard parts anymore". After a quick check on Caterpillar's on-line parts system I learned the 0R5838 complete Reman turbocharger is available as well as individual pieces like bearings, nozzle rings, shims, rings, and more. Please check with your Caterpillar dealer for individual parts to help you with the next old rebuild like this.
nice repair :) good to see old girls getting some needed love :) im runnin bobcat 721 and its in perfect working condition :)
Love the free swag promotion ideas👍🏻.
it was good seeing Val , my dad took inj. pumps etc to him back when he first set up shop back in the early 70s , dad had Allis tractors so he gave Val plenty of business lol , Great video love the behind the scenes stuff you dont normally see and i like knowin what the finished product cost which is usually something never discussed on other channels , keep up the good work gentleman ! i have a MM G1000 i may bring the pump and injectors over to have gone thru some day
Wow! It gives me a warm feeling to know that there are still companies like this out there.
Interesting process. P.S. that dozer is worth much more than you think,especially with the reman turbo!
Just came over from Diesel Creek 👍
thanks for the video! its still a little awkward but your not used to being on camera so that will change. it is interesting to follow a build and then see a part come to you for in a way a complete new sub project on the build to eventually hopefully end up in a new running vehicle.
It’s nice to see people who still do quality work.
Fantastic crew you have , this was a most fascinating video to watch keep up the great work you guys do
ADS. Continues to prove it self as the top in the business!
What a great group of professionals you guys are.
This guy has done a jolly good job of presenting this one hour video which I have relished every second of it.
In my military manual calls it a locking tab
"Tab washer" in the UK, that's the name used by many manufacturers
I have been operating on about 3 hours of sleep over the last two days (it sucks being old and sick), and I started watching this over breakfast. I am 53:34 into the video, and my eyes and body tell me to return to bed. I will save this video and pick it back up at lunchtime. Thanks to Matt for posting the link to your channel. Subscribed and already addicted. I relied on Grammarly to repair all of the mistakes in my post.
Get some rest and feel better. We'll be here.
That was a fascinating rebuild. Thanks for sharing. Love seeing this collaborative work you do with Matt and others.
Our pleasure!
I worked for a Caterpillar dealership in the late 1970s. The area I worked in, built natural gas compressors, powered by natural gas burning engines. The mag and turbo shop, rebuilt so many of these things that we had two guys working full time on them from a pile of cores. They were easy to repair, but ... they had parts. You did a great job on this unit.
You and your crew do a GREAT job reworking old machines. I have a question, being a now retired machinist and love to work on old cars and engines myself, I am wondering why you ground the shaft before straightening it? Now the shaft grinds are not true.
Good eye. Great question. Straightening is in fact first. Then grind, polish, and balance. We had wheels chucked in each machine for video production and so we could get in and out of the machine shop quickly and we captured the processes out of order. Are you looking for a job? Your attention to detail is what we look for at Area Diesel Service.
@@AreaDieselService LOL, If I was in my 20's or 30's I'd say yes but I am a retired machinist now. Thank you for the offer tho.
So it is the editor's mistake or just not knowing the correct procedure.
Have a great day guys ! And remember, I'm watching you :)
You guys are really artists. It is nice to see old quality craftsmen work with old equipment. The Three Wise Men!
Priceless!
Thank you very much!
You are more than welcome. I wish you guys a long and prosperous existence!@@AreaDieselService
Awesome video ….great to see your channel growing
Thanks so much!
Thumbs up on this comprehensive video and a bigger thumbs up to all 22 hands involved!
Awesome content, great service, 👍
Much appreciated!
I like that you guys are willing to rebuild something that is obsolete. If you took that to most other shops they'd send you back out the door bcuz they couldn't order parts.
That looks like an expensive repair I would think with all the diesel shops and companies that someone would make a turbo that could replace the original Style, of course that wouldn't be cheap either. These guys go by my dad's rule don't ever throw anything away you may need it sometime
Nice calling it "The Standard Diesel Creek Routine" 😅
Matt & C-n-C Equipment brought me here - glad they did! Subscribed for sure
I first heard about your company when wes came there and did a video/interview. You sure can get the job done. Can you tell me if external injector lines for the old Cummins Diesel NH 220 series are still available? Thank you and thanks for gettin Matts tractor running. Bill
Same with me. Wes was the first
Reach out with an engine serial number and we can take a look.
