Description:
Beginning with entry-level explanations
of the critical systems and advancing to the standard required
of ASE L4 and L5 certification testing, this stand-alone book is
a first-rate primer in the study of highway truck and trailer
brake, suspension, and steering systems. Modular in format, the
book’s chapters cover basic principles directed to specific,
performance-based learning outcomes. Step-by-step photo
sequences for many critical shop-based tasks and an emphasis on
troubleshooting help learners make the connection between
conceptual and hands-on learning.
Features:
- an excellent preparation guide for certification testing
that covers the ASE T4 (Truck brakes) and T5 (Truck
suspension and steering) task learning objectives
- features comprehensive coverage of the components,
systems, and testing procedures required to effectively work
on truck brakes, suspension, front-end, and steering systems
- personal and shop safety practices are integrated
throughout, and compliance and inspection issues are
addressed in those chapters dealing with critical safety
systems including brakes, wheel-end, tires, and suspensions
- provides an assortment of test questions that are both
conceptual and ASE task-oriented
- a comprehensive glossary helps readers navigate the book
without stumbling over key words and definitions
- To help put classroom theory into shop practice, each
MDT Series title will be offered with a companion Job Sheets
manual. The Job Sheets have been thoughtfully designed by
experienced instructors to assist users in gaining job
preparedness skills and mastering specific technical
competencies required for success as a professional diesel
technician. While designed to support the MDT Series, the
manuals are also useful on their own, or with any
comprehensive or area-specific diesel technology text. The
manuals reference the NATEF Task List and consist of a set
of Job Sheets for each of the following areas:
Electrical/Electronic Systems; Heating Ventilation & Air
