I'm no school mechanic but I work on my own diesel trucks and my 8 year old daughter has saw your videos and she helps me out any chance I get so I just wanna say thanks for being a inspiration for young girls especially my daughter. 😊

[@OcamRzr]

Love the fact that you fessed up to your prior "experience" 🙄... 😂🤣 Excellent information and good to know. 👍

[@dewayneleek4588]

I like the fact that to me everything you do has to be at the highest standard you know or can find,,you take pride in your work something hard to find in workers these days

[@recluse666]

Super ironic, I’m doing a crank sleeve and front seal on mine tomorrow. I was really wondering how to use the clear sleeve. Thanks so much for the info, you’re a badass.

[@Harry-wy8if]

I think you're a friggin library brain... pretty damn good video Melissa...

[@GrimReaper-ly8zk]

Damn. Im just finished a ford ranger 3.2 litre diesel engine rebuild and its about to go back in the vehicle. I was worried about the seal and now youve got me really stressed. Thanks sweetheart from Australia.

[@DirectCurrent4u]

Great Information to know! Good advice in taking the time to do it right the first time! Keep up the awesome work!👍

[@johnnywad7728]

This video Melissa reminded me of what we were taught in diesel mechanic school in the 1980s about centering flywheel housings using a dial indicator. Apparently a number of manufactures omitted the dowel pins to save $ during manufacturering of engine blocks. If you don't center flywheel housings using dial indicator you WILL have rear main seal destroyed and clutch problems. I've no idea if Cummins 5.9 is dowled or not. But since you are teaching in your videos, maybe touch on that fact. Good videos as always!

[@fenflyer]

God makes the nicest of nicest things 😇👍

[@cliffh8486]

I replaced mine when I did the dowel pin thing. I didn’t have the tool for proper depth placement, I just eyeballed the thing from corrosion and marks. Wish I would have had the tool. Good video!

[@brianprice9986]

Don't work on Cummins very much (read once in a blue moon) but I want to Thank you! I learned something new and useful should I ever need to replace one.

[@chris.swearengin]

That is very good to know if I have a Dodge to work on I will remember that. Thanks for sharing that useful information on this video. You have a wonderful day.

[@kenporcher2166]

If you install the seal from the front with a hammer, you distort the cover a.k.a. bend the cover causing the seal to run crooked and that's why it leaks. I built myself an installer to do them from the front with ultimate care and using the balancer bolts to press the seal in. Works but it's best to install them from the backside like you did. 👍

[@kratoscraken5614]

I work in a shop as well and still in school to learn more and I'd love for you to come and educate my manager at my job i honestly think you know more than him 👍🔧👍

[@Ham68229]

And this is why you're the greatest. Cheers :)

You are the coolest woman alive. Fantastic. 💯

[@roscoe7075]

Kinda one of the best ways to learn as long as you don't break anything then you'll have to tell the customer even though you're the customer 😂

[@johnnypopper-pc3ss]

Cummins is your brand , but I would love to see videos like this on JD 300 , 400 , and 500 series engines in the future. Or , any other brand you desire .

[@thedieselqueenmelissa715]

If you send me an engine and a rebuild kit I'll do it

You're the only girl I know who looks good in coveralls. Did you get them tailored?

[@duanestegall8489]

Awesome job awesome beauty happy safe Monday afternoon sweet ness ❤️🔥🔥🔥

[@poellot]

One mechanic to another, try Dr. Squatch. I know, I know, it's naturally so it's hippie shit. No... my ex bought me a bar, I thought o fuckin great, throw it in the pile of Chinese tools she got me a few years back. Well I tried it. Fucking works , works awesome. No bull shit. I get into grease, oil, diesel, solvent, daily. We all know grease from a clutch housing is the absolute worse thing in the world to get off. Pine tar will do it. I dont ever talk about stuff that's good, I just talk shit about garbage products. But pine tar has surprised me so much, just try it.

[@user-nv8vo9cl5m]

not trying to be a critic or a mechanic, damper, learned the hardway to the tune of a full rebuild on a 3406 e that broke the crank, according to my research, the balancer is a critical part and should be replaced on a scheduled amount of hours and or inspected for damage from rocks etc. Whats your opinion? Your vids are really good

[@thedieselqueenmelissa715]

Yes there is a maintenance interval sometimes

[@robsnodgrass915]

Wow, you are exactly correct. About everything you said. So I gotta ask, are the seals that come with the wearsleeve kit a bigger size? Or are they the same with a different part # on box and seal? I bet you know.

[@thedieselqueenmelissa715]

The inside diameter is slightly bigger

Never was a shop guy... and over 3k later at my new job... in three months.. I am a shop guy.. it won't matter tho. Suns going to exode within 16 months give or take..

[@MarcTurk]

The seal has too be pressed in what's the red locktite for ?

[@thedieselqueenmelissa715]

Just something an old timer taught me to help keep it sealed

[@andyfarms9653]

I have a 6BT Cummins in a 5150 Case IH tractor. Is it basically the same as your engine? Thanks in advance and best wishes to you.

[@thedieselqueenmelissa715]

If it's a 6bt then yes. B

[@andyfarms9653]

Thanks

[@dirtysouthcreeker]

It's the same as 6.7

[@dirtysouthcreeker]

I just did one it's all the same, also I could be wrong but I think there is a stop lip in side of the 6.7 it's been a few weeks since I've done it, so don't judge me on it

[@G_Tradez]

Do a jiggle test vid.

[@justinsane7128]

DQ!

You look so beautiful gorgeous to see you even you look dirty you still look fantastic

[@OldMan854]

Please tell me you are not going to put that ugly part on the front of the beautiful purple engine?

[@thedieselqueenmelissa715]

It's getting a new one, I just but this on for the purpose of the video

[@OldMan854]

@@thedieselqueenmelissa715 Glad to hear it. Gonna be a great looking engine when you are finished.

[@scottwhite6040]

Sorry I didn't hear a single word you said can u repeat it.😮

[@kingbadboy9436]

Hey Diesel Queen, In your recent videos I saw that you have a belly button piercing and a tattoo on your ribs, can you please do a video on your rib tattoo and your belly pierce?
