This guy is doing a huge solid for all of us younger mechanics that don't have the time or money to go to school, thanks man! Keep it up

I am a 65 year old retired minister. My wife and I have a "skoolie" that I have built from the ground-up. 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! I am binge watching and learning more than I ever thought possible in this area. Thank you from and old dog that is happy learning new tricks. You are a wonderful and very engaging teacher! God bless!

33yr mother of two starting a 2 year diesel program come august! So happy I found your channel! I’m trying to stay ahead of the game. 😊

As someone aspiring to be a diesel mechanic this was very helpful thank you

Thank you for taking the time and energy to spread your knowledge

Can't beat a free education! Thank you so much 😁

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!

Can you please do a series explaining the air break system and how it works? It would be MUCH appreciated! Thank you for the information you've already posted, you make it so much easier to understand

Just what I need. Adept Ape diesel classes 👌👌

Dude you are natural instructor. Think about career change , can't turn wrench all your life 😉😉😉😉 Great videos.

I'm in the front row with a sharpened pencil!

I just started this diesel mechanic course, 18 months and I know nothing of engines. I understood the three days of class work I’ve been doing in this one video. Thanks boss man 🫡

Great video. I've been a diesel tech for 3 months now. I came from 12 years of automotive. I can say I've never been so happy I love going to work. Though I've rebuilt 50+ gas engines I love your videos and o wanna get to a point in diesel where I was as a auto tech

Definitely a fan of this, even if I know how an engine works. Looking forward to the next one man

I'm a diesel mechanic and this a great introduction to engines! I always enjoy and often use the information in your videos. Thank you and keep up the good work!!!

Bro I'm 41 and am learning diesel engines for the first time, thanks so much and I subscribed. Nuff respect from Guyana...

I never had an interest in Diesel Engines, but my boyfriend is a Diesel mechanic, so Watching through this course so I can understand what he's talking about. Thank you for making it so easy for someone that had minimal to no knowledge on any of this!

As someone coming from the humanities and having zero experience with engines, I really appreciate you starting out the class with one of my absolute favourite works of literature. Makes me feel right at home. Been watching all three videos, you're a great teacher. Looking forward to the next one.

OG. People like you make the world go round 🙏🏼❤️

I have very good mechanical knowledge of all motors and this was a great introduction of the basics of a 4 stroke diesel!! I’m going to watch the rest and have my probationary firefighters watch the whole series. Excellent job sir!

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.

I wish our high school shop teacher was worth a damn when I was there. I already know most of this stuff, but it’s refreshing hearing it explained on a beginner level, it’s nice to see somebody finally offering a series like this to beginners.

I really want to thank you for making these videos. I have just bought a diesel 4wd that is pulled apart because I wanted to learn how to put an engine together and found ur videos. They are really well broken down so that everyone can understand 👌🏼 I better get on with watching the rest of your classes 👍🏼 Keep up the awesome content

Perfect! Covering the basics which in turn will build a great foundation of knowledge for better understand the inner working of internal combustion engine.

I bought my first Dump truck this past year and it is a Glider with a C15 ACERT MXS, the engine came out of a wrecked truck and it had around 400,000 miles on it. I put it on my new Glider to cut the cost of putting a rebuilt reman engine in it. It runs great and only thing I have done to it is replace two injectors. I plan on having it rebuilt whenever it goes bad, but it runs great right now. I have learned everything I know about Diesel engines from your channel, thank you!

ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!! Three years after this man posts this I am referring to it to study up for the diesel class I'll be taking in the spring, summer, and next fall! This man is single handedly saving my life hahaaaa. Keep it up!

I purchased a bus and realized I don't know anything about diesels. So I started going to community college. I'm so lost most days. I'm the only girl in a class of auto mechanics. Your videos are a huge help! It's nice to have someone teach from a newbie prospective. Thank you!!

Thank you so much! I've been working on gassers all my life and new to the diesels I just bought a 1988 f250 with a 7.3 idi and it's been messed with with the fuel and wiring system and it's been overwhelming trying to even get the courage to start taking it apart and fixing it! You are awesome man new sub! 🙌

Lol, I'm so glad I clicked on this. I grew up being a book person but all my friends grew up with their hands on stuff under hoods, and they've tried to explain stuff like this to me countless times and my brain just doesn't grasp it. Hearing it like this from a legitimate STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 etc helps SO much, so thank you very much for making this. I'm hooked.

Is it bad that I am in 8th grade watching this to try and learn more about Diesel engines and how they work… I really want to be a Diesel Mechanic thanks so much this is helping a lot and I am taking notes lol…

Always good to brush up on theory even if you're familiar with how the engine works 👍

4 years ago and still helping people out

been using these videos to help me freshen up on what i learned in college a couple years ago, been out of diesel up until recently and wanted to start my apprenticeship. thanks for making these josh, learning something a second time is definitely easier than the first and i find it even easier that you're the one teaching. Thanks Josh!

Been driving 20 years, know some of the basics on diesels but this vid is great. Thank you very much. I am coming off the road and starting to do more mechanical work. Thanks again, much appreciated.

Love your channel Josh. I've been practicing the no idle thing for 25 years. I have a 1996 Detroit Diesel 470 with 778k on it. Had the valve train adjusted recently and a 40 year mechanic said it was the cleanest engine he's ever worked on.

Excellent video. Your channel is the best thing ever for a young truck owner! Thank you

Was never really good at school like at all. I’ve only ever been interested in mechanical stuff. I would get this really good feeling every time I understood something in class at school. I had that same feeling all throughout this video.. thank you sir I really appreciate what your doing!❤️

Really looking forward to this series. Keep up the great work.

Thank you, I have applied for a heavy diesel apprenticeship and these videos are helping me build a foundation while I wait to hear back.

This is really helpful, I could feel a lightbulb switch on when I started seeing how everything worked together ; you're a lifesaver!!!

Great video. Thank you for taking the time to do this series. I so wish i had got into diesel engine repair when i was younger. I have been a mechanic in industrial equipment all my life but never chose a single field.

Omg this was so well done! Thank you for being so thorough and explaining it from start to finish because I really have never even looked at an engine before I had no idea where to start! I took tons of notes on this and it helped a ton! 😁🙌🏾

So excited for these videos. I'm a new technician and your info is helping alot! Thank you! 🤘

Thank You... We are Homeschooling two boys one of which is like my tail when ever Im spinning a wrench. You have layed it out so an egar 11 year old can undetstand perfectly. Please keep it up I want give him the best start as possible now he knows he not loser for wanting to work with his hands verse all with computers.

Looking forward to more advanced ones, but keep them coming. I didn’t know about transmission oil until the 1970’s

Thanks for doing these videos Josh. I especially like the fact you are using the K.I.S.S method to explain. Please them coming mate! I'm a Train Driver who is a part time Earthmoving Operator, so I hope your lessons will have application in that field. Cheers, Adrian Emerald Qld Australia.

Looking forward to the learning about the alchemy of the fabled two stroke diesel.

What an excellent video and series and easily the quickest 25 minutes that I’ve ever spent watching a video. Thanks.

Dude, You Rock!!! Thank you for taking the time to teach us. :)

You are awesome, I’ve known a little bit about engines for quite some time but being a blind wanna be diesel mechanic your videos help a lot! Thank you so much.

Thank you for taking time to do this class , I am looking forward to them

I throughly enjoyed this class/video! I loved hearing the way you explained and illustrated it! Thank you!! I’m definitely watching more!

Been out of the field for 20 years. I still love hearing this stuff. Miss it quite frankly

Thank you for starting from the very basics. Exactly what I needed and what I was looking for! Now all those moving parts make sense!

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.

Hey there I'm 17 and i just want u to no that I'm learning more from you than i have every learn from any of my teacher so i just want u to know that don't stop what your doing because your helping a lot of people and teaching a lot of people and your teaching me about a lot of things I'm learning things i did not know so thank you and don't stop doing what your doing hope to meat you some day

Love the video plzs keep these up I am a o/o and have a 60 sires 14 liter tring to shelf tech myself on how to work on it and doing a in frame rebuild this will make things more simple to understand

I think this is the earliest I've ever seen a video.

I'm currently training to be an apprentice diesel mechanic with no background knowledge - THANK YOU!!! This is incredibly helpful

Going to be a diesel mechanic in the us army. Might as well start learning now. Thanks for the great video

I’m a turbine engine mech by profession, with some SAE certs for gas engines as well, but I’ve only a passing familiarity with diesels, mainly just maintaining them, no real repair experience. I already understood the 4 cycle CI engine but I’ll tell you what, you could take an accountant, computer programmer, or an Avon sales lady and let them sit thru this video and they would come away with a working knowledge of how to create a Diesel engine. Adept Ape, to you I say if you’re not in a trade school or college teaching this material to prospective mechanics, then that is a crime against education and knowledge. You are a natural teacher, you can break things down so that the average Joe understands them. Not everyone can do that, even someone with a PhD. Well done sir, very well done. Liked and subbed! 👍

I love this thank you for taking the time to explain this.! The older I get the more mechanical engineering just blows me away .it's simply amazing, it really is. I might have to do maintenance soon on a biodiesel ,hydrostatic ,small Amusement train, so I've been looking all sorts of things up lately. the hydrostatic system is very interesting as well

As an electrician i always wanted to learn more about diesel engines as I work allot with generators Thanks so much for making this accessable to us.

thank you so very much for this content, i'm not even a mechanic, i don't even have a car, but i think about becoming a mechanic in the future, you're an EXCELENT teacher, amazing work here!

I'm maybe a minute into the intro and I already like this dude. Thank you for doing this!

Can't wait to see your course from a gas mechanic's POV. Thank you for sharing your work and time with everyone.

Very thorough and clear-cut explanation. Looking forward to the next videos in this series!

Good on you mate, I am relatively new to Diesel engines and your clear description is easy to follow. You are talking to me and not to someone who already knows, Thank you.

Thank you, class 2 can't wait.

Great Class. I always look few times for remaining vminutes of video and get sad when 2-3 minutes are remaining, and think why its ending for today, I love learning from you. Thanks as always.

Worked on heavy diesels and lots of different automotive sized engines gas/diesels .. And yet I still watched the entire thing, keep up the vids! Better delivered info than the college courses I payed for lol

So, I know all of this,but as you said a BEGINNING class. Very very very good and in depth..

You made all that so easy to understand, I’m glad I stumbled across your channel. I’ll watch any video u put out

I understand how a four stroke engine works just never realized how hard it is to explain how it works .😂 keep up the good work and thank you for taking time to pass knowledge on to others! 👍👍can’t wait for the next lesson.

love this i have been waiting for these i learn alot from you already keep up the awesome work

i own a mobile fleet repair business but i never went to school for diesel. I started with cars and light trucks and slowly adapted to heavy duty diesel and equipment. I have used this channel before when first working on cat engines and having some diag issues. This has been such a helpful channel i make my employees watch some of these videos because of the in-depth and accurate explanations that are found. Adding this class is genius although i dont need this part of class this will help so many people who want to learn !!

Thinking about trying to become a heavy duty mechanic for my passions of diesel motors and this is very helpful much appreciated very excited to keep learning!

Thanks bro, I've done Automotive but barely getting into diesel to get some experience and well this video is one of the few I've seen. Good stuff man!

You are the best teacher ever.. thanks for taking the time to show us

"youve never even opened the hood of your car" fantastic. the starting point i was looking for. *takes a seat and promptly subscribes*

Great and very knowledgable video! Sir, you are a great teacher! You explain the lesson in such, a captivating, clear and interesting steady paced way! I enjoed every step. Thank you much. The Lord bless you and your loved ones. 🙋🏻‍♂️

Thank you, I just hoped into this type of work after going through 3 different majors in college not knowing what I wanted to do. And my dad wanted me to try working for his business and have been accelerating faster in this type of work and more interested in it. Which I has no interest in classes in high school nor what universities had to offer where I wanted to play ball. Your the best and I'm definitely going to go through this and study🙏

It’s always refreshing to start from the beginning of time to see how simple it all started Tho I am a mechanic by nature, my background is gas, tho I own and operate my truck Your digestion was fun to listen to, so yes I’m awaiting the next video.

Long overdue. Thank you for this series.

You weren't lying when you said you'd explain it as if we'd never been under a hood. Mind numbingly explained in layman terms but beyond accurate I'm only commenting to let the uninitiated know this is the simplest ACCURATE explanation you will find great job brother!

Man, I’m about to start an apprenticeship as a tech 1 diesel mechanic and this is a real help, even with some mechanical experience it was really scary looking, but thankfully I found your channel man

This is awesome! I had a little bit of an understanding but this really broke it down significantly into smaller bits of information. Great job explaining!

Great video. No matter how much someone knows they can always learn something. Thanks for taking the time to make these.

One of the best lectures I have ever watched !!

Even with years of mechanical knowledge, This is a very good, much needed professional course.. great work..!!

This is a very well presented video. I've looked at a lot of web sites and You Tube videos on diesel engines but never any that presented a complete course on them. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Thank you sir , I do appreciate the series !

Please do one about a two stroke diesel soon thank you ❤❤

My tech school first engine course was 16 weeks. Complete tear down and rebuild...Measuring everything with mics along the way. Was boring as hell but learned alot.

You explain it all so well so it’s easy to understand how the Diesel engine works. Thanks for making this video. 👏

Thanks man! I've been looking for this exact thing, something to teach me exactly how a diesel engine works

Good to know I already knew 90% of all this information. Proud of myself as a 14 year old sophomore being in tractor tech team for my high school and studying all day

Got coffee. Count me in. Thanks for all this.
