MODERN DIESEL TECHNOLOGY: LIGHT DUTY DIESELS provides a thorough introduction to the light-duty diesel engine, now the power plant of choice in pickup trucks and automobiles to optimize fuel efficiency and longevity. While the major emphasis is on highway usage, best-selling author Sean Bennett also covers small stationary and mobile off-highway diesels. Using a modularized structure, Bennett helps the reader achieve a conceptual grounding in diesel engine technology. After exploring the tools required to achieve hands-on technical competency, the text explores major engine subsystems and fuel management systems used over the past decade, including the common rail fuel systems that manage almost all current light duty diesel engines. In addition, this text covers engine management systems, computer controls, multiplexing electronics, diesel emissions and the means used to control them. All generations of CAN-bus technology are examined, including the latest automotive CAN-C multiplexing and the basics of network bus troubleshooting. ASE A-9 certification learning objectives are addressed in detail.

helpful prep for ase tests
By Hi Desert
I've worked on diesel's for years and am preparing to take the ASE light diesel exam. This text was well worth the money and time in reading. It has great explanations of what's going on inside injection pumps, how emissions controls work, and electronic engine controls. If you already have a good handle on gas engines and want some background to move into light diesel's this book is a great place to start. I don't think it would do you much good if you don't already have a handle on basic engine mechanics and electrical concepts- it is not a basic text.

Great at describing how the latest Diesel engines work
By Michael Rupp
Great at describing how the latest Diesel engines work, but not so great at describing diagnosis and repair. Very up to date, but I was disappointed with the repair aspect. Also this book focuses on the newest Ford Power Stroke engine. About 90% Ford and 10% all other Diesel engines. There is just not any good passenger Diesel repair books available. I got more out of Dempsey's book even though it was out of date.
