Hopefully KZread is compensating you brother. I didn’t see an advertisement so I fear you aren’t. You deserve a good paycheck every month from all the info you share

I know positively nothing about diesel engines, and very little about engine mechanics in general, and this guy still managed to make tis easy to understand. Fantastic! Thanks a lot for the info.

Another excellent video. I think so many mechanics need to take note of this analytical way of troubleshooting. Beautifully presented also.

Easily the Best Diesel Channel out there!! So easy to understand!👍🏼👍🏼 Sharing✅

Great work!! I have a 3126 in my FL70 quad cab 4x4 service truck and get along good with cold starts but have had the injector oil seal problem. Ended up with oil in my fuel. Keep up the good work.

Hands down the absolute best diesel channel period. I’m sure you have got some interesting stories to tell about dyno runs on the diesel trucks. I would love to see a video one day about dyno runs and another day in the life video. Another great informative video as always brother.

You explain this stuff so precisely I can watch this video and be able to relate it too my gasoline engine problems lol

My modern 2016 Mercedes with its 2.2d OM651 never ceases to amaze me. You hit the starter button and within a nanosecond it starts !. I swear the pistons hardly move and it just starts. How they achieve that i will never know. Love diesels !. 200bhp and 420NM, and 72mpg. Whats not to like.

Very informative josh...good idea with the vacuum gauge

To piggy back off your mechanical checks, look for worn/ frozen belt pully. I have had a few belts slow down on cranking from a worn ac compressor bearings.

Thanks Josh always interesting keep up the great work 👍🇦🇺

Very clear speaking. And not speaking to fast. Good for people Like myself. Who are not mechanical engineers.

Love your expetise bro. Keep up the good work. Wish you could work on my cat engine on my freightliner

Battery to starter cable gets massive current. That high heat, over time, excellerates corrosion, increasing resistance, which makes that cable an additional load on the starter when it's old

i learned that i miss the old purely mechanical diesels even more than i thought i did.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us .

Your explanations are simply superb

Wow thanks so much I wish I could send you a video of my situation with my c13

Some of the old trucks had a t-handle you'd pull to relieve the compression in order to get the engine turning over. And no I'm not referring to the t-handle for shutting down the old Detroits. Also, I remember trucks that had a different voltage/amperage for the starting system.

You are amazing at explaining this stuff. Big up

Thanks for these great information Great channel sir

Excellent once again cheers brother love your channel

So informative. My problem with my series 60 is it feels like there's a draw on the batteries. I have 4 brand new batteries and a kill switch. I'll check the wires. Hopefully its contact issues.

Thanks for sharing

I'm a much better operator than mechanic, but in the course of my time around machinery/trucks I've learned that corroded terminals, contacts and compromised wiring is one of the first things I look for when diagnosing starting or ignition difficulties. Seen a lot of guys replace batteries when it was actually just corroded terminals on the lead wires and batteries. Next up are clogged filters dropping fuel pressure to the pump and injectors. Fuel filters get neglected a lot because of people being a little leery of the process of purging air after the filter is changed.

Good stuff👍. I have a 3406e 5ek and i changed the timing sensor on the top right (drivers side) of the gear housing, but where's the 2nd?

Very helpful thank you

Really good video, I learnt a lot, thanks.. I have a fiat ducato van, 2.3L 120 multijet... with a hard start... It cranks for about 5 seconds, then struggles into life, with a ploom of white smoke when it starts, and runs rough for about 5 seconds, I normal blimp the throttle, then its perfectly fine.... from the sound of your video this is a cold misfire... most like injector? is there anything else I should check? I have checked battery, cleaned and tighten the battery cables (positive was loose, made it better but still issue). injector leak off test done which was fine, changed the pressure regulator as I thought it should hold pressure in the rail when off as I was told this has a check valve (your video says its doesn't hold pressure). I checked FPR sensor on my OBD, starts around 5000PSI, idles 6300PSI, goes up when I press the throttle as expected. when I shut off it drops to 58PSI in about 10 seconds, if I then check it 2 days later then its still sat at 58psi never goes down below that, but sometimes I've watched it with nothing running, and the 58psi will change to 26psi for just a second then go straight back to 58psi, so it seems to work, but also maybe seems dodgy.... is it also worth checking compression or timing as a few people have suggested?... Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated thanks :)

Can you please make a video about various engine block heaters and which one you prefer more and different designs? Thank you in advance.

This is why a 335 cummins I drove in the early 70s was sweat, it had a compression release you could spin that sucker even with a weak battery and fire it up quick when you released the handle.

I've spent some time watching a few of your videos. I'm not at all mechanically inclined, but I'm keen on reliability especially since I'm considering buying a 30 or 39 foot Class A diesel pusher somewhere in the 2003 to 2008 range. I think you do a tremendous job with your overviews. Where the heck are you located and, when I get to a point I've found an RV I'm interested, are you open to giving some advice on the engine? Also, if it's at all possible, I'd be willing to drive the RV to you to have you give it a thorough inspection if you are open to something like that. Thanks again for your time and attention on this subject, I get a lot out of it. Best of luck to you.

My 3406E 1lw starts Luke Brand new... it wasn't like that with older batt cables but now it starts right away...

Thank for this video 1 question I wanna ask if the diesel pump is knocking in the morning or when it's cold

Great info 👍. What would cause the engine to stall 30-90 seconds after startup on Heui 3126? Started doing it after installing a cat reman injection pump. If you try and work the throttle, it may stay running or it may rev erraticly on its own for a few seconds.

Nice sir, I like it. Give me more idea about caterpillar engine.

Thank you sir appreciate the help

I just picked up an old Perkins 4-107 attached to a 10kw generator, lots of smoke and would not start without the ether, I pulled the injectors and I am having them rebuilt, hopefully this will help it all around!

Get rid of that Paccar

Mine last year in the cold would have a miss only when accelerating when the coolant temp is below like 130-140, when idling its 100% fine...its not hard to start at all.

I had a 5.9 common rail that about every 3rd or 4th time I would crank it, that it would have to turn over twice instead of firing on the first rotation like usual.

Thank you!

Thank you

My 3046 cat engine on my d5 dozer will not start without ether at first, burns a ridiculous amount of oil but runs great. I’m thinking maybe worn vale guides and or a bad exhaust side turbo?

My 3204 DI engine is always hard to start. It cranks over way too slow. The cables get extremely hot when its being cranked too.

Hi Ape just discover this channel,really helpful info Thanks. What about hard starting engine when in working temperature? I have mondeo mk5 2.0l diesel TDCi ,this is Ford fusion in USA .I live in UK and the weather is between 0 and 25 celsius over the year.I have an issue when engine is hot. If I stop the engine and try to start it straight after is turning much more than usually need to start,but I use a start stop and the engine shut and start on a traffic light for example I dont havy any issues.just a note Camshaft position sensor is new and is genuine from main dealer. So if you give me any guide will be much appreciated.

I'm working on a giant lemon (2013 Maxxforce DT 7.6). The engine surges badly at idle after warm up. I depress the accelerator to a 30% angle or less and the engine smoothes out. What could it be?

I have 2001 cat D8R with 3406 It's in the dealership for 2 months now . The issue is with diesel line leake , we have changed all line , install new clambs , rebuild the diesel pump and still there is something causing the leakage , it's not on one line , every time we fix a line the leakage come from the next one. Dealership says it's return valve , they changed it and still the same. Any idea or suggestions for my issue ?

My question if a engine miss fire wild running at mid or high idle and give off white smoke are it pops and sounds like it miss in a milly second with the white smoke what could cause tht problem ?

hello, its' great and interesting class what you did, but where do i found all the "Engine class 101. ?

Oh thanks for what ya done so far

On the battery cables , another fail point is the lock washer on the starter studs . If you don't get the nut tight enough all your current is going through the lock washer and creates high resistance .

helpful video

Thats why they should have kept the compression release like the first cummins i drove had if you had a low battery it was a life saver on cold days it was perfect also

I have a 2005 Cat C7 Acert. Very hard starting. When it does finally start, it sounds like it's running on 3 cylinders, once started picks up a couple cylinders pretty quick, and then the other one a few seconds later and then it's running smooth and no problems. All while cranking and about the first minute or 2 after starting, putting out a huge plume of gray smoke. So according to this video, likely injectors, or could it just be the seals? It does have some codes that need to be read. Of course first things first, get the codes read for the known problems. So I have an idea what to be expecting, any strong idea of what I'll be looking at for repair? It's only got 131,000 miles / 5005 hours so I'd hope it's certainly worth repair and shouldn't have any major issues anytime soon provided I keep the oil clean and changed at proper intervals. Thx for any help or suggestions.

Love the intro

I have a 3406E it has no problem starting but it’ll mess and put white smoke out at Start and then in a few seconds it’ll go away and run fine

Hey I have a c7 with ard head ,will not start while cranking. Hit it with a small amount of starting fluid starts and runs fine any thoughts

Good video

I have 2006 vw sharan 1.9tdi my engine doesn't start immediately the crancking seems normal but it takes like 4 to 5 seconds to start up even if the engine is hot.. i checked that battery it's good as new could be a starter failing! I am not good with mechanical problems.. but i did a computer diagnos and doesn't show me any kind of engine or sensor defect

You need good atomization of the fuel when injected. If the compression is good it will light. If you have mechanical injection it’s not as fine and tougher to light. I’m from Canada...get a webasto...no more problems and you can heat the tranny and fuel...boom lights at -30 in the wind like summer time...

If i manually prime my toyota corolla d4d 2003 then it starts much better in the cold, in the mornings. Does this suggest a fuel pump or fuel tank/line pressure loss overnight ? thanks ?

Just a little fyi. Today I was listening to this video on my way out to check a grinder with a c27. It's having a really long crank before starting and randomly dropping to idle. The issue? Bad wire connection on back of the key switch.

Have you ever did a manual pump conversion i done one but am struggling to start..It's a zd30 with td27 diesels pump

Hi, What are causes of oil come out from exaust pipe?

As usual good informative video bud.

Josh, just this morning 01/30/2020 i ran into an owner operator having trouble starting is truck. I asked him to crank the engine it was turning with good power, told him sound like the injectors where not supplying enough fuel to the engine he loosen the supply line to fuel pump cracked engine good supply and he changed both fuel filters, still didn't start. after a while he said to he remembers having this same problem. so he started to pull on the wire assembly from battery that leads to engine, and just like that it started right away, you think it might be a bad wire that leads to sensors to E.C.M. I'll stop there. thx

I just had my 6.0 2005 F-250 Diesel New head gaskets replaced. No new heads but every thing but not the turbo. That was just rebuilt. Runs good BUT hard to start every morning. Upsetting. They will not help me fix the problem. How do you get the compression air racial repaired?

Good Day. What gives an engine torque. some engines come with the same horse power but different torque settings. Detroit series 60 comes with 500 HP and 1650 torque. I wish that to be 500--1850

Certain motor oils are designed to be thinner (less viscous) when cold and more viscous (thicker) when hot. For instance, multi-grade or multi-viscosity motor oils show a low viscosity at low temperatures and high viscosity at high temperatures. I believe you indicated the opposite. Did I misunderstand?

Years ago the joke about one brand of diesel engines that was very hard starting: If a child walked by your truck on a hot day carrying an ice cream cone, you would need either to start your engine.

hi. i have a c7.1 engine on a cat 323d2l excavator which does not start without spraying cold start into the air inlet. what could be the problem

So if I turn down the injector pump setting tuning to low the engine power will get low ??

Ambient temperature is one of the most important things on a Diesel engine! Therefor one must somehow heat the intake air , and also make the injection pulse with as high of pressure as possible!

Love these videos, especially about cat engines.
