BUMPER TO BUMPER, The Diesel Mechanics Students Guide to Tractor-Trailer Operations, spells relief for diesel mechanics who often find themselves behind the wheel of the tractors they fix. Just about everything a mechanic needs to know about operating a tractor-trailer is in this 254-page book which is written directly to the diesel mechanics student in an easy-to-read style that is both authoritative and friendly. It bridges the gap between the diesel mechanic and the truck driver by providing a drivers perspective of the tractor-trailer, plus everything the diesel mechanic will want and need to know to operate it, including operating and inspecting air brakes, coupling and uncoupling trailers, backing, providing preventive maintenance, and understanding the electrical and steering systems, engine, drive trains and trailer. Thoroughly indexed and extensively illustrated, the book includes end-of-chapter quizzes.

This review is from: Bumper to Bumper: The Diesel Mechanics Student's Guide to Tractor-Trailer Operations (Paperback)
The info isn't even half there. Missing and disjointed info. This book would cause more confusion than any good. I am a truck driver and have to work on diesels and can tell you that there is nothing here to warrent the purchase of this book.
