Troubleshooting and Repairing Diesel Engines, 5th Edition

Very informative, and covers the actual function, rather than process. I found it to be far more educational than any mechanics book I've found. It explains the development plans, and science. That's why I love it. It explains the way it works, so you can understand what the repair is repairing.Very good book.

Covers theory and functions of most all diesels so you can understand and troubleshoot systems . VERY HELPFUL INFO. Other name brand “repair manuals” (Ch & Ha) are waste of time and money. Used to be “beyond the scope of home mechanic”. NOW manuals say “beyond the scope of this manual” Read this and troubleshooting gets easy!

en donde podrás extraer mucha información proveniente desde el conocimiento empírico, necesitas un nivel de experiencia en el área para poder entenderlo bien pero sirve muchísimo para relacionar los problemas y buscar sus soluciones

To be on its 5th printing it has some pretty obvious errors. Like telling you to get GM computer programming from the Ford motorcraft site. Or giving an example of how to manage the turbo charger on a P-51 Mustang when neither of the P-51s engines were ever fitted with a turbocharger. He may have meant the P-47 but how did this mistake survive 5 printings of this book. Another example is when he says that the cubic inch displacement of the engine should give you a good idea of the cold cranking amps that are required for starting. Then gives an example of a 441 cid engine needing a 700 cca battery. Not the one to one ratio by any stretch. The book has alot of good information but also contains alot on engines that are no longer very commmon. Not so sure why the extensive information on batteries, starters and alternators is needed.

A very understandable, yet very technical book to get you understanding the basics of a Diesel engine. I work some with Diesel engines at my current job and I have learned a lot - greatly enhancing my abilities in the maintenance of our bus fleet. Hoping this knowledge will be the start of bigger and better things.

This books goes over a little bit of everything. Bought this book for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves it and has learned a lot! I’ve bought him other books in the past and he says he has learned the most from this book.

Good book. Learning a lot.. Have previous edition Wich is awesome as well.

Illustrations where very poor quality would not recommend for a beginner you can tell the author really knows his stuff but his writing is not that clear. With that being said he does have some very good outside the box thinking on certain procedures the kind of stuff you learn in person from the guys you work with in the shop that have been turning wrenches for 50 years lol. So for a more seasoned mechanic that can visualize the things he is writing I would recommend this book to them.

Excellent book

Very clear descriptions of how a modern diesel works

A great gift for my dad, he'll love it and it arrived before the suggested ETA thanks guys.

be warned this book is not a easy read. don't expect loads of flow charts to direct you to problems. it bears more towards text books for mechanics. does not have all the answers. that's up to you how you use the information. good luck

Good book lots of information
