The fourth edition of Medium /Heavy Duty Truck Diesel Engines, Fuel and Computerized Management Systems should be available during the month of February of 2012. This was a major revision and involved considerable enhancement of the classroom support materials including a set of 56 videos that deal with typical diesel engine shop tasks ranging from an oil change procedure to chassis dynamometer testing. These are available from Cengage BRAIN.

Next up is a revision of the Modern Diesel Technology Heavy Equipment Systems that should be available toward the end of 2012. This second edition will incorporate new chapters on AC hybrid drive systems, and Rigging and Hoisting along with an expansion of the four chapters dealing with Hydraulics.

Later in the year, the introductory level Diesel Engines in the Modern Diesel Technology Series will be revised and be released during 2013. The updates will reflect feedback from high school programs that have been using the first edition of the book.
