Product Description
Through a carefully-maintained “building block” approach, this text offers an easy-to-understand guide to automotive, truck, and heavy equipment diesel engine technology in a single, comprehensive volume. Text focus is on state-of-the-art technology, as well as on the fundamental principles underlying today's technological advances in service and repair procedures. Industry accepted practices are identified; and, readers are encouraged to formulate a sound understanding of both the “why” and the “how” of modern diesel engines and equipment. Thorough, up-to-date treatment of diesel technology encompasses major advancements in the field, especially recent developments in the use of electronics in heavy-duty trucks, off-highway equipment, and marine applications. The text's primary focus is on state-of- the-art “electronic fuel injection” systems such as those being used by such manufacturers as Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Volvo, and Mack. A systematic, structured organization helps readers learn step-by-step, beginning with engine systems, and working logically through intake/exhaust, cooling, lubrication, and fuel injection systems, highlighting major changes in today's modern engines.

An in depth coverage of both theory and application. April 27, 1999
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
A detailed study resource for the serious diesel mechanic. An important resource for those studying for advanced certification or those who make their living working on engines and in need of more detailed technical info. Book has detailed drawings and explanations. Not recreational reading. Tough subject explained well, with tips and guidance on all aspects of diesel engines.
