Publisher's Note Diesel Mechanics has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest procedures, techniques, maintenance training, and troubleshooting insights for today's diesel mechanic technicians. The fourth edition provides coverage of the latest procedures for working on modern control systems, while retaining the book's popular hands-on knowledge required in the diesel repair business. The new techniques include such important topics as fuel injection systems and electronically controlled engines. The textbook-workbook program provides o balance between theory of operation based on manufacturers' specifications and the need for accurate hands-on shop repairs. It features latest methods of working on control systems and provides information on fuel injection systems and electronically controlled engines. This edition includes a new two-color format. The correlated workbook provides hands-on shop assignments that parallel and complement the text assignments. The program includes on Instructor's Planning Guide. Diesel Mechanics has a six part fifty-one chapter organization. Part One contains twelve chapters and provides a general introduction. The second part is on engine components and service and contains sixteen chapters (13 - 28). Fuel-injection systems are the subject of Part Four (29 - 39). Electrical Systems are discussed in Part Five (39 - 49). The book concludes with Part Six, Break-in Troubleshooting and Tune-up (50-51).
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.
