Product Description
This thoroughly updated softcover text strikes an excellent balance between hands-on practice and theory of diesel operation and maintenance requirements of manufacturers. Diesel Mechanics equips students with state-of-the-art procedures and techniques needed to diagnose, repair, troubleshoot, and maintain diesel engines in the real world. It features the latest methods for working on modern control systems and provides in-depth information on fuel injection systems and electronically-controlled engines. The text includes maintenance and repair coverage of stationary, marine, and truck engines. A new, two-color format contains more than 1,000 illustrations and improved line drawings that help students visualize important concepts. The correlated Workbook, which includes nearly 200 illustrations, provides hands-on shop assignments that parallel and complement such text assignments as how to analyze diesel component failures. The Instructor’s Planning Guide provides an integrated plan for using the program in the classroom and shop. It also includes lesson plans, detailed student assignments, and answers to text and workbook questions and assignments. A computer test bank will be available.

 Terrible expainations, terrible diagrams December 4, 2000
Yam A. Ha V-Star (Bothell, WA USA)
14 out of 19 found this review helpful
I make a big mistake by buying this book. The illustrations, figures,and diagrams were to small and just plain bad! The authors did a bad job of explaining things, and of making the transition between chapters. It seemed as though one author did not know what the other one had covered, so there was needless, and endless repetition. The authors did not make the subject matter clear to me.
 excellent resourse/reference manual April 29, 2000

Diesel Mechanics is an excellent manual for understanding the function, design, trouble-shooting, and repairing of various diesel engines. From basic safety tips, to diagnostic tool usage, and the inner working of today's diesel engine, this manual is one of the best out there. With over 300 detailed illustrations to supplement a very readable and 'user friendly' text, this book is a both a great reference source and solid beginner's introduction to diesel engines. The text, itself, is very easy to understand. It avoids the double-trouble areas of oversimplification and excessive 'wordiness' that many diesel engine manuals fall prey to. Rather, the chapters are well designed and broken down for easier study and quick reference. They are also exceedingly well arranged for logical comprehension that takes the reader step-by-step through the process of first understanding the inner workings of diesel engines, and then the all important aspects of diagnostics and repair. Whether you're a professional or shade-tree mechanic you'll find this book an outstanding resourse for your automotive library. And if you can't tell the difference between a flywheel and a fuel pump, this manual will take you through the essentials without confusion, lack of information, or complete illustrations
