Hell ya brother!! The heavy haul company I manage moves all the big equipment for wsc boise. Are you out of Pocatello? This series of videos is awesome
Your explanation is way colorful than the one when I was in mechanical school keep it up bro
You are doing a great job, teaching our up and comming new mechanics. Keep it up.
My auto Electric story:
I was a third-year auto mechanic apprentice working the line at a dealership of German cars. this was before the lemon laws were passed.
A car that had been sold the month before was towed in. It had suffered an electrical fire behind the dashboard and behind the firewall. Every single wire had been burned and all of the switches were half melted or completely gone. no flat rate Mechanic would touch it so the foreman assigned it to me.
Every switch and dash light was ordered along with a main wiring harness. The switches came in but no wiring harness. After waiting two months the foreman told me to get busy.
I had no special training or experience in auto electric. I pulled in an identical new car is my example and replaced every single wire behind the dash and behind the firewall with red wire.
On the first test everything worked perfectly except for one door switch which was easy to fix. I was very proud of my work in spite of it looking like a plate of spaghetti!
Great story, best way to learn.
6 months in as a diesel mechanic but I’ve been watching your videos sense before that. I struggle with wiring and electrical at work so this video couldn’t have came at a better time! Thank you☝🏼
Wiring is the easiest I hate fuel problem troubleshooting
@@ancormane524fuel problems are easy Tracking electrical shorts is mind exhausting
Sliding into a diesel mechanic shop after nearly a decade as a welder.
Not worried about the body or replacing parts. Point me at it and gimme a manual and ill get it done. Not as fast as someone who knows what they are doing but itll get done.
Electrical might as well be black magic to me though.
I just stumbled upon your diesel 101 and then saw you made these.
You are the best my dude.
You have great teaching gifts. You make complicated concepts easy to understand. Glad you are sharing your in-depth knowledge with us on the Internet. I am a retired public school teacher who owns a 5.9 Cummins pickup truck, which I am getting to understand and appreciate so much more!
Retiring after 50+ years in the electrical trade, (Plant maintenance, Multi-craft too) then teaching at a community college, (electrical) you have done an excellent job of explaining electricity!! I really your video's that you have done. I like the troubleshooting the engines, etc. Keep up the Great work!! Thanks!! Oh! I do agree that the flow of electrons bumping into one another and the calculation are the "boring Part" of the trade!! But is needed/required for an understanding of electrical flow!!
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for these lessons. I'm going through schooling to become a heavy duty diesel mechanic here in Canada. Electrical has always been my weakness.
I have to say your videos are a lifelines for me. Owning my first truck I looked for information online and inevitably I came to your channel. It has taught me most of what I know and I can’t thank you enough. Appreciate everything you do and the information you put out in the ethos for people to learn!
i watched your diesel classes and it changed my understanding of engines completely ! excited for these classes
I am a generator mechanic as well in Phoenix. I've done lots of setups and needed this information. Glad to see someone talking and teaching lessons about this stuff!
I’m a auto electrician and I’m looking forward to gaining more knowledge thanks mate. 👍
Shockingly simple. Good to know.
Thank you for these videos, I love them all, but I can't thank you enough for the tutorials. Especially the electrical series you have started. Can't wait to see the whole series. I am a small engine mechanic, but I learn everyday and enjoy your approach.
love this stuff
it is always great to see different technical ways to do things
Cam! I applied for the apprenticeship at Western states in Meridian!!!! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THESE VIDEOS!!!!!!!
Thanks bro I'm a garbage tech alot of hydraulics everything's moving to electrically actuated everything valves modules ect its been the most daunting thing in finally pushing myself to progress in the electrical diagnostic work on mainly mack and cummins diesel and cng heil and mcnelius body's I still very much learn and enjoy ur channel
Thank you for taking the time to explain each setting/ type of power.
great vid for beginners,,,, a couple of things,,, its not the voltage that kills you, its the amps, and DC power is a lot more dangerous then AC power, as a Marine Engineer we trained up to 3 phase AC and 40 v DC..
Josh, thank you for going back to basics. There are a ton of people looking to get into doing "things," and many experts skip the basics. Doesn't matter what "things" are, experts guess you know it when doing videos.
I guess I am trying to say, the more knowledge out there, the better we will be. Ain't nobody coming to rescue us.
I’m looking forward to more of these. I’m currently trying to troubleshoot an electrical problem that I have with my Peterbilt. I even sent you an email with a detailed description of what I have going on. Thanks for the basics.
These videos are gold mines! I appreciate you uploading this 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you for doing this series. I’m an owner/operator with 3 trucks and I have to do a lot of repairs myself. This series will help me. Will you do a segment on the different functions of a multimeter?
Second that, I'd love a multimeter segment!
What would you like to know?
The Ohms scale (Ohmaga ) measures resistance across two points. When not energized. They usually have a zeroing key? Dial? Put your leads on both ends of a wire the resistance. Put the leads together before you go to measure see what the screen reads and you can subtract that from what you read.
Un bolt/machine screw from your vehicle measure between the wire/s to the ground then to the Negative of the battery should see next to zero as resistance.
For DC or intermittent DC - - - - - - , measure across say the battery. Should measure nominal 12 VDC. Or it will when new be 2.2Volts per cell on Lead acid batteries. Different for other DC batteries. Lead Antamonie is 1.46 VDC??
Measure across the battery terminal to the cable lug see if there is a difference of potential between them this checks if you have voltage drop across two surfaces? Should see next to nothing if not remove tooth brush wire bush them and you can use Vaseline to keep the oxygen away from them.
Measure from the Positive side of say a relay to ground should see nominal 12 Vs.
For measuring DC amps most are good for 10 amps MAX! They are usually (fused) so if you go over that it should (blow) needs to be replaced do have spares. For measuring Amps the meter leads on the Amp setting needs to be in series in circuit with to measure.
Some will show/measure min and max voltages.
They make Clip on amp meters for larger cables/ readings. Mine is good for 100 amps. Does me, not that I have used mine on a job. Use there's.
AC 120 volts there again across a resistance to ground/wire. If they should fluctuate usually a bad Neutral wire.
AC will KILL so don't Play with any of this.
I have used what is called a "Modi Walk" for testing voltage up to 500,000 volts in substations. Love that work. They will measure between 347 to 500 Kv. Different settings.
Hope this helps any more do ask I will see if I can answer.
I’m very much looking forward to the next electrical episode.
Super Excellent (and I have never said that in any comments I have left before). Thank you.
great class! simple explanations, little bits of random humor mixed in, useful video! thanks - looking forward to part 2!
I’ve always enjoyed your videos and I need this basic class series! Thanks!
Thanks Josh, good intro to a fascinating subject. Looking forward to this series. Great public service broadcasting here, thank you.
I like the way you laid that out I can’t wait to see you testing secondary components like alternator/generators and starter motors as well as circuit relays
Yes please more!
This is amazing job you have left your mark on the world with this video.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. God bless you !
Awesome, thank you Josh great video.
Great video! Can never get enough of the basics if you ask me.
Great job Josh easy to understand
Thank you for this video/class!
Great video Josh I liked how you went real slow on how power moves in a wire only when there's a connection between both sides of the battery.
Good command of the English language, Like a Boss, bravo!
This is great. I had some young mechanics they were working on an old fire truck that was positive ground. I had to give them a basic on electricity and flow.
Im hooked on your classroom series of videos. Im learning something too. Ive never been good at electric systems so this should be good for me.
Thx AA, for a video with great content covering electrical theory and practical basics. I'm a long time sub who has worked with electrical devices since high school electrical/electronics class as well as USN training, College A&P tech, Utility Power Plant Apprenticeship and Operator with 31yrs utility experience. You have an excellent training skill which allows a lay person to understand IMHO. Will be sharing with my G'kids. Looking forward to your next session.
Excellent! Waiting for class 2!!!
Good class. If i didn't know this stuff already it would have been very useful. Keep the good stuff coming.
I need to add this to my skills. I kinda know basics but I get super bored with electrical stuff. I’m pretty talented with anything else around a big truck but I do not like electrical
Who does like electrical work but it a necessary evil with today's system's
@@kellycowett6254 Guys like you can't correlate hydraulics to electricity, and falsely assume everybody has the same shortcomings as you.
Good class for shadetree mechanics like myself. Looking forward to class 2.
Tesla had a mustache, so did Einstein... just saying :)
Never heard of them 😁
Mustache filters out the slow electrons.
the beard of knowledge strikes again lol
Tesla also figured out how to get free electricity which takes a lot of money out of very powerful peoples pockets, wonder why he died...... 🤔
@@wesringeisen4109 The electricity was not free he wanted to provide it free. He still had a massive power generator in his Colorado location. He wanted to provide it free through the ionosphere.
Really like your videos and the knowledge you share. This class type video is great.
My nephew is going to be training under Deere to be a tech after he graduates and I am going to recommend he watches your videos to gain some knowledge.
Please make more of these videos. I’m a highschool student that wants to go into the automotive field. I have a competition at the end of march and I really do appreciate you making these so I can learn more about electrical wiring in vehicles.
Really cool video, great explanation. Thankyou also.
Glad to see no Electrical Engineers have started arguing about if the current flows or is FM. Very nice job making it good for a real beginner to see this and have a basic understanding. You are an excellent Instructor. Always enjoy when a couple EE start arguing but it is confusing to a beginner. Can't wait to see your next one, stay safe and healthy Sir. Just wanted to add my complements to who ever cleans that floor.
Electrical engineers is not a proper noun... thus not capitalized. This EE just corrected your English.
"Let's have a spelling contest!" Best western ever.
@@Failure_Is_An_Option As a title both are capitalized.
Hey Josh, I just want to say thank you for the class type videos. They are very informative. Electrical is my weakest subject. I would very much like to see this series progress and get more in depth. Especially the troubleshooting aspects of electrical problems when it comes to DC systems. I am a heavy equipment/truck mechanic. Never went to school just self taught. Appreciate the hard work and effort you put into these videos.
The video didn't do great for views, but people seem to like them. I'll probably do at least 4 episodes in this series to try and cover it in depth.
@@AdeptApe well I will watch every episode. It's valuable information that is hard to grasp without a good teacher.
@@AdeptApeplease do. Much appreciated
Excellent video 😁
Love this class
Love the video bro!!
I like! I want more!!! For sure!
I need the 3 hour video. Lol. I understand the basics but I've never been schooled on electrical per say and I don't mess with it enough in depth to remember much
Great video!
Loved the comparison of fluid/water pressure (V), pipe size (I), and flow (R). I use the same analogy often. Also applicable to "leakage" or a short, semi-short, or even a "blocked pipe" resistance high or open circuit.
PS: for Ohm's law, I also found it easier as V = I x R (V=IR ....Virrrr vs dividing R-hhsss....lol..in my best pirate speak)
Well Done!
Heck yeah! More of this stuff!
I loved learning ohms law… 🙈. Great video mate. You will make an excellent teacher pal. Great mix of comedy and very calm nature top man
Love it! Thanks so much!
Hopefully you make more electrical classes this helped so much
Excellent explanation 👌.
Good point on how long does the light stay on.
Electrical guys have it easy! when trouble shooting, they just use the meter probes to test a point in a circuit, mechanical or hydraulic guys have to take it apart to check, plus oil and mess!
Thanks for sharing 👍
I'd just like to say this. Atoms do not flow through a wire.
When a charge is applied, the field round the atom passes that negative charge to the positive of the next atom, and so forth. State of charge moves to the next state, higher or lower the charge. So, nothing moves, physically; only the field is passed along to do work. I hope I have made myself understood.
They are expensive but Fluke meters are worth it.Good secondhand buys as well-built to last.
This is awesome thanks so much
Great video
Good video
Thanks for sharing
Awesome
A few years ago I said you would make a good instructor. You are not disappointing.
I was almost scared to read the second sentence there, but glad I did. Thanks Chad, you're a regular commenter so it means something coming from you.
You don’t have to have a mustache, but it helps. Definitely helps.
Thank you.. 😌
We need more classes man I’m I’ve binged all these classes in two days and I don’t know where else to turn for more information.
Thanks 🙏
cheers mate,,🖖
It’s always fun when you become the conductor. 🤣
‘Professor APE’ in the house! For some reason or another I had a flashback to the old Schoolhouse rock cartoon-ELECTRICITY!
Great vid. Revisiting the basics never hurts, and for people just learning this stuff is pretty crucial. The water analogy helps the best to understand. Josh I also did generators first, I actually got my EGSA certification in 2015. And as fate would have it, this week I'm looking at a couple of diesel shops for a new job. Do you have any tips or advice for a new apprentice diesel tech? I already know electricity and engines, and a lot of conventional automotive. I have 6 certs from the eetc in addition to the egsa but I don't have any ase. What do you consider good pay right now starting off? Josh or anyone experienced can chime in. Thanks for keeping your channel alive and in focus all these years and for providing sound advice.
Thanks!
Thank you so much Barry.
Indebted to you Sir
thank u ser
Really enjoying this series! When's the next electrical video going to come out?
Hope you enjoy it loved it from start to finish tutorial was brilliant can't wait for the next class 😊

From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧 ⏰️ 10:01am Good Morning 🙏 🌄
Love the series. Most of the theoretical knowledge is not new to me. Would love to see you take an engine (or car) and have a practical series where you strip down an engine and point out all of these different pieces as you perform the take down.
Great vid… question, are there more parts to this series? Couldn’t find it 👍thank you
Excellent. This will be a great series.
Yesssss
I can’t find part 2…good classes
I could see a open and closed hydraulic systems class?? Would be useful for some.
Not an expert on that subject, just understand the basics
I just wanted to ask what you think about rottla t6 5w40 I run t6 5w40 in my 12 &18 6.7 ram and t6 15w40 in summer do you think the 5w40 is good or bad I have been buying new ram when I got my first 99 ram Cummins then 07 5.9 run rottla t4 15w40 in them from new and on my 12 first 20.000mi I do oil change every 3.000mi I have noticed that the 5w40 runs smoother when its 0 out or lower just wanted to know if the rottla t6 5w40 isn't the best for my truck
Can I wire a second alternator for a alternating current circut for tools?
👍👍👍👍
😎👍
Is there a part 2? I can’t find it.
Can bus systems class in the future?
I made a welder for jeep from an alternator

General question for anyone: is diesel mechanic a young man's gig? I'm 53, am looking at a possible career change and have always been fascinated by big equipment. I have worked in HVAC for years but have also done a lot of wrenching on cars. So as for the technical side, I have a mechanical bent and have mechanical experience. I am curious about the physical side and the work environment. Is it for the young person or could one advanced in years handle it? Thanks!
I defenetly need the mustache
voltage is potential, amps is flow and resistance creates pressure or limits flow
I agree. As much as voltage is potential it's not the pressure as he says. Buts a beautiful analogy for visualization.
Great class,teacher! Where do I send you an apple 🍎 It might not be very ripe when it gets there though 🤔
Thank you, free food is the best. Probably be cider by the time it's here.
I'm pretty sure the mustache is gonna help.
