I was a cabinet builder most of my life and I built the bus out to look like a comfortable living space for us. I knew I had to educate myself somehow on the basics of the 5.9 Cummins that powers the bus, but just didn't know where to start. You have no idea how thrilled I am to have located this series!

[@OvelNick]

This is a really great intro to diesels starting with the historical motives behind its invention. I've been building and tuning gasoline engines racing since I was 13-14 years old. Everything I know is from hands on experience and never owned/driven a diesel I don't know much about them. My father-in-law unfortunately passed away 4 months ago. He gave me his 04 Dodge 2500 4x4 5.9l diesel that he really loved. A work horse that he took amazing care of. My son is 14 and like we all were at his age, hanging out with dad isn't "cool." lol He's going to be driving it when he gets his license under the condition he learns to properly take care of it and understand what's required to do so. It's something we're doing together. I remember how much of an impact doing things like this with my grandfather had and lessons learned that I still carry with me to this day. This level of experienced teaching is amazing to have for free. It's awesome of you to offer it! Stoked to dig into the other videos! I really appreciate the time you've put into this and the ease of following along! Thank you!

As an automotive tech that may move into the diesel world, this is an amazingly digestible description of how a head and block relate to each other. I understand it with gasoline, I have an idea with diesel. The lack of electricity is the portion that throws me for a loop. The diesel 'knock' I still don't quite understand (With reference to to violence of the explosion. Under that much pressure I assume it must try to eat itself more. Gas is much more volatile, yes; but can't yet wrap my head around the pressures created). This is the first video I've seen of you and I'm excited to learn more from you. Hopefully I'll find my answer. Thanks for the posting.

[@rockymntain]

When Rudolf Diesel was first testing his experimental engine, he used peanut oil as the fuel. There were exhibitions of the Diesel engine by the Otto company in 1900 that also featured the engine running on peanut oil. The refined fractionated portion of petroleum oil that would most closely resemble what we now refer to as "Diesel fuel," would have been Kerosene. The Diesel engine did not come into widespread use until the 1930s, due to the fact that the injector technology had not been well developed for multi-cylinder engines. Bosch played a role in developing the fuel injector timing. The car maker Citroen helped bring the engine to market as well. So, when we figuratively invented our "new" engine, it was highly improbable that Rudolph Diesel started using what is now known as "diesel fuel" as the fuel source, because the engine he invented took many years to become widely used and accepted, to where the fuel used in his engine would be associated with his name.

Dear AdeptApe, I’ve been a fan for approximately 26 months now. I am being Specific because 26 months ago thanks to your help I was able to complete an inframe overhaul from crank bearings to head including new call and rollers. 1997 CAT C10 Unfortunately 4 days day while fully loaded (70k) heard what I though sounded like a broken serpentine belt flapping and I noticed power drop. Pulled over shut down restart heard metal knock. Pulled valve cover saw valve stem protruding 2” beyond valve spring. Called a tow truck. Further diagnosed found all 4 valve’s broken where stem meets face. Engine is maintained every 10k miles, no long idle Cat software shut her down after 5 minutes. Two days before this, the engine started giving crank but no start. With a new manually priming while cranking she started. A few hours again she did the something. After that it had seemed to fixed itself. 48 hours later ***BOOOOOM******. Please note I started using Lucus fuel treatment in the fuel against my better judgement. I’m fixing to grab a reman head, one position pack, new head bolts, gasket, etc from CAT but would appreciate your opinion on what might have caused this so I can do my best to prevent it from happening again.

[@AdeptApe]

Sorry to hear that Raymond. Sounds like you may have had a defective valve seat. You might want to opt for an extended warranty on the reman head, they are relatively inexpensive.
