Can anyone recommend some good trade school type training manuals on medium duty diesel engines, truck suspensions, brakes, transmissions, differentials, all wheel drive systems ect, ect. Would be nice to build a "list" of what some of the very knowledgeable contributors to this forumn feel to be great training publications. Thanks. Jim.

Thanks Tim for the info. Those look like good manuals. I would expect trade schools use some of the better books. By chance do you also have a book title for clutches, transmissions, front & rear differentials? Anyone else have diesel truck trade school quality training manual titles that read well for self-learners? Thanks to all. Jim.

Used book stores usually have specific manuals... . say Detroit, or some Cat material. If you live around a tech school, you can buy new texts... but they are not cheap. I have some at home that I used in tech school. I'll get the names.
