He gave us an excellent explaination and view of the proces.. his face wouldn't add anything to this video.. wouldn't even call it camera shy this way.
We all have some skills, but clearly there are those that have tuned their skill set to a much higher level. Nice to watch a 'Skilled' operator doing their thing...
Everyone has their own comfort level for being filmed. That being said, please pass on to the tech that I appreciate the knowledge and ability he has and showed. Of course, I would expect no less from Area Diesel Service 😊. Respect and cheers from Vancouver, Canada!
I knew nothing about these pumps. What an incredibly tedious process. Fun to watch pros doing their thing. Appreciate showing all this detail. I now know enough to know why everyone sends their stuff to you.
🎉very interesting the things you guys do to bring all this old stuff back to working condition. I'm glad Matt showed us who and what you do so we can watch the action. Thank you for all you do and thank you for showing us.
This fellow has given one of the very finest explanations of anything I have ever observed. He's outstanding. No bull, with him or from me. Thanks! I really thought this was a fine explanation of the pump!
Well done all. You showed what needs to be done to get pump back to factory quality. Also showed us in detail what to do, and why, and what not to do, and why. Great quality everywhere in knowledge, skill, workmanship and parts. Camera shy fellow did an excellent job and you can certainly see see this is not his first rodeo. He can remember exactly what part goes where and in what sequence. I am not in that league, though I have been trying for many years. Can get all the bits together and working just fine but many times it is one step forward and two steps back because I got something out of sequence. It is a bit far to send you any of my stuff (I am in Land Down Under) but for anyone in your neck of the woods, would certainly recommend ADS. 72 yr supposedly retired mechanic/machinist/welder/fabricator etc. Still have a 16M x 8M shed at home with lots of toys in it 'cause neighbours and others bring me stuff - they say they want to stave off dementia in me - haha. They certainly challenge me regularly.
Shout out to the crew at AREA DIESEL, As a retired Marine Engineer, I found your video very professional & informative , as always its a pleasure to watch skilled operators undertaking their chosen profession. Congratulations to Area Diesel for a job well done . Respect....!
Love the 3D animated graphics as Curtis, at the parts counter, identifies numerous internal components while pointing/touching the various 'knobs' outside of the Cummins mfg PT injector pump. The graphics & EZ to follow explination was worth the $1500 just to watch & listen! 'Ole Matt (Diesel Creek) gotta love your ADS total rebuild, calibration/testing, new injectors, paint & Swag! Another very professional presentation! 💪👍✅️😊🍺
Thanks Matt Always love to see stuff from ADS And a big thumbs up to the talented team at Area Diesel Service for your expertise and entertaining content 👍
You guys rock, you do a great job of explaining what the heck is going on. I found you through Matt (Diesel Creek) and Mike from (Dirt Perfect). You guys do great work and I enjoy your videos.😊😊
Hello from the UK, having driven a fair few Cummings powered trucks in my 46 year career, I learned so much about the fuel injection pumps fitted to the two big cam engines fitted to British ERF trucks I once drove back in the day. Absolutely fascinating viewing and expertly narrated too, you both made it totally understandable. I shall look forward to seeing this on Matt's rebuilt engine. Well done to Area Diesel for this vid.
Absolutely LOVED the comment "But don't ever mess with that... Unless you want to" (You even gave Matt a 'ballpark' of how MUCH to 'mess with it'. i.e. a full turn is a BUNCH, so go half / quarter turn!) Customers are human... And Matt is 'more human' than most!
I'll bet Matty is gonna enjoy this video at least as much as I did! You guys are absolute gurus! This pump is gonna run like a Swiss watch on Matty's autocar! Thanks for making such a professional video, & doing such a professional job!
Remember when you were a kid, and you'd catch a Jetsons/Flintstones crossover on the ol' rabbit ears? This is like that, but much better. Really cool that Matt's truck comes from such a neat place and job, and rad that you're able to help get the rig going again.
Hi fascinating to see these pumps repaired I had a big cam in my leyland roadtrain here in the uk rated at 320 bhp and it went like a sewing machine it’s great to see your man rebuild this pt pump he’s great to watch let’s see more of his work he’s a star keep up the brilliant work best regs Howie in the uk 👍
Thanks for showing the details of rebuilding a fuel injection pump. Very interesting for all of us that don't see these that often. I know that you folks have a very reputation, ive heard about you guys from several different sources.
My NTA420 small cam put 612 to the tires back in the 90s. It has been doing that ever since hauling grain at 80k plus pounds no issues. Keep rail pressure below 300 and things should be ok.
Great explanations as always On how these Pumps Work came over from Diesel Creek Channel 4:00 I have seen lots of videos from you guys over the years from other youtube Creators i was watching @Area Diesel Service
That was very interesting. Watching the technician work his craft knowing that he’s just rebuilt the heart ❤️ of the engine it will serve has to be very satisfying and he certifies ✍️ it to be on spec… Good job Sir 👍🇺🇸 Curtis, don’t sell yourself short, you did an excellent job explaining the process 👏 Can’t wait to hear the AutoCar come to life. Thank you ! It’s no wonder Matt speaks so highly about “Area Diesel Service”
I have always wanted to know more about how the PT pump works. This is probably the most informative video I’ve seen. Thank you and your team this video!!!!
Thanks for this video. Well made and explained and it gives the customer appreciation for all the work required for the rebuild. I need to get mine serviced next week. Currently running a 400 Cummins in a K123 Kenworth Cab over 1976 vintage. Truck runs like a charm. Cheers from Australia.
A diesel injection pump that reliably functions with accuracy and precision for years of hard use with minimal maintenance simply by virtue of its excellent mechanical design and build quality impresses me more than its equivalent run by a computer. Once again, you guys impress me with your knowledge and skill. I will not hesitate to give ADS a call when I find an old M1008 6.2 Squarebody to work on.
It's good to find a diesel pump shop that does a video of pt rebuilds and does simple service - owner shade tree insights THANKS ! GUYS I have a L10 Cummins with turbo and PT pump self taught to service and simple maintenance before I found you.
Been about 48 yrs since I last watched someone rebuild one of those pumps, worked at Cummins for a couple of yrs, did our own rebuilds back then, before Cummins Recon existed, they'd do batches of whatever component they had a few of to do at the time, one week may be fuel pumps, one wk could be injectors, or a mix of lube pumps, water pumps, compressors, accessory drives, Cummins fan hubs, Schweitzer fan hubs. We wouldn't sell buttons across the counter to someone that didn't have a pump stand, had lots of requests though. Cummins Recon didn't really happen til mid 80's. Still a few H models around back then, had disc pumps on them, still sold NT262 conversion kits for the old 220's. Was there for BC1 unveil and BC2 unveil.
I came in to this video knowing jack squat about these but now I don't feel quite as lost when looking at YT channels where guys like Matt are wrenching on their stuff. A really well done presentation without filling it with hard to understand technobabble.
AreaDieselService Dear UA-cam OOOMMMGGG 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯👎🤯 I watch this entire video from beginning to end and I am BLOWN AWAY 👍👍👍👍👍 I also own a 1988 FLC Bigcam400 Semi truck.... I'm speechless
It is interesting to think that pre-1990's diesel injectors and pumps was designed without any computers or CAD software... Only in the later part of the 1980s was there CAD and computer software... Hats off to those engineers who visualized and designed those engines, injectors and pumps! T
Great job guys! Another well put together, and very informative video. It does the heart good to see that people still take pride in their workmanship! Keep up the great work!
Outstanding video! I am subscribed to Matt and watch all his work. The knowledge in your shop must be crazy. It would be a great place to hang out and just help out where needed. Drive on and be safe out there.
That was a very informative video and I enjoyed it very much, you guys do such great work on the pumps that everyone that I watch is very pleased with your work and I will highly recommend your company to anyone having problems. Next I'll be watching Matt put his Cummins back together with your freshly rebuilt PT Pump and PT Injectors.
Fantastic job ! I worked on diesel’s engines a lot being a forklift mechanic for 50 + years everything but stripping down a pump , great video after all there years , but now retired! LOL
Clessy Cummins, invented both the "Jake brake" and the PT fuel pump. Both are marvels of mechanical genius. The PT pump and unit injectors used in the NTC Cummins engines were unmatched for being low cost to maintain and very rugged. Nothing else came close, by comparison all the inline conventional pumps were economically hideous to fix. One unique feature of the PT pump, is that if an idiot driver over revved the engine down hills badly enough, it had a failure mode that caused the engine to stop. Great way to identify a bad driver and fire them. I can remember, people spending US $10,000 dollars in the 1990's to fix Bosch pumps on V8 Mack engines.
I know that the guy building the pump was camera shy, but thank him for allowing you to film his work. He is very talented.
He did a very good job despite being camera shy!!
He gave us an excellent explaination and view of the proces.. his face wouldn't add anything to this video.. wouldn't even call it camera shy this way.
I hope he is aware of how much his talent is appreciated. Such a joy to watch someone who is so expert in their field.
And he is articulate and has a good voice. Enjoyed listening to him.
You guys make me feel more comfortable about purchasing a older truck with the 855 Cummins. Happy to know people still supply parts for these engines
I think this skilled worker has no need to worry about AI or a robot replacing him anytime in our lifetime.
Area Diesel is fortunate to have such talented employees.
...Agreed !!!
Agree 100%!!!
Worth their weight in gold I would think!
Pay em' well!
I am glad you are keeping the old iron running.
The guy in this video perfectly exemplifies what knowledge, skill, and experience can accomplish if used intelligently. Great work, great video.
Thanks for watching!
It's really nice to see somebody "rebuilding" a part instead of tossing it in the a landfill and replacing the entire component!
That has very little to do with skill set versus a throw away society in general. This pump comes from a time we were not throw away.
We all have some skills, but clearly there are those that have tuned their skill set to a much higher level. Nice to watch a 'Skilled' operator doing their thing...
You have some real masters down there. They take pride in their work and you don't see much of that anymore.
Everyone has their own comfort level for being filmed. That being said, please pass on to the tech that I appreciate the knowledge and ability he has and showed. Of course, I would expect no less from Area Diesel Service 😊. Respect and cheers from Vancouver, Canada!
Area Diesel to the rescue! Good to see you guys working with Matt once again, love watching the pros get it done.
I'm just amazed how complex such a relatively small engine component is. The expertise of your team is amazing! Great video!
Thank you very much!
What's more impressive imho is that many of these pumps were designed with little to no CFD.. Amazing mechanical wonders.
Take my hat off to guys who can do this like they are making a cup of coffee - skilled tradesmen
at least matt didnt send you a basket case this time.
Don't ever mess with that! unless you want to. Words to live by.
Between you, Matt, and Sam I’m learning more about diesels than I ever thought I should know. And I love it. Keep it up.
Don't forget Mr. Clint at C+C Equipment !!!...Mr. Curt knows them too !!😃...
and C&C Equipment
Finishing up a Cummins pump with a CAT shirt on. Wow a kick in the pants lol.
another excellent description of the innerworkings of complex device. :)
What a Great team! Most won't get the deep details. Easy to watch and I like each one I see - it's a grin for me.😄
I knew nothing about these pumps. What an incredibly tedious process. Fun to watch pros doing their thing. Appreciate showing all this detail. I now know enough to know why everyone sends their stuff to you.
Excellent presentation on the full process of rebuilding a PT pump! I enjoy seeing professionals doing it the right way.
🎉very interesting the things you guys do to bring all this old stuff back to working condition. I'm glad Matt showed us who and what you do so we can watch the action. Thank you for all you do and thank you for showing us.
Love this s&it. Much better than TV.
Who needs TV??
Professionalism all over !! 👏👏
Thanks for the extensive narrative.
Thanks for listening
This fellow has given one of the very finest explanations of anything I have ever observed. He's outstanding. No bull, with him or from me. Thanks! I really thought this was a fine explanation of the pump!
So, after writing the above, I checked out the other comments. There was a lot of agreement!
Well done all. You showed what needs to be done to get pump back to factory quality. Also showed us in detail what to do, and why, and what not to do, and why. Great quality everywhere in knowledge, skill, workmanship and parts. Camera shy fellow did an excellent job and you can certainly see see this is not his first rodeo.

It is a bit far to send you any of my stuff (I am in Land Down Under) but for anyone in your neck of the woods, would certainly recommend ADS. 72 yr supposedly retired mechanic/machinist/welder/fabricator etc. Still have a 16M x 8M shed at home with lots of toys in it 'cause neighbours and others bring me stuff - they say they want to stave off dementia in me - haha. They certainly challenge me regularly.
1:05:50 "Don't ever mess with that (screw), unless you want to." Love you guys!

HE MAKES IT LOOK LIKE A WALK IN THE PARK . I THINK ONE COULD SAY HE HAS DONE ONE OR TWO OF THEM 😂😂
Not all heroes wear capes…
Thanks Matt
Always love to see stuff from ADS
And a big thumbs up to the talented team at Area Diesel Service for your expertise and entertaining content 👍
Our pleasure!
The tech should get on camera. He'd be a rock star.
They are probably happy to get a pump from Matt in one piece
You guys rock, you do a great job of explaining what the heck is going on. I found you through Matt (Diesel Creek) and Mike from (Dirt Perfect). You guys do great work and I enjoy your videos.😊😊
The skill of a Swiss watch maker... outstanding...
You can see the experience oosing out there🎉
Awesome content and support graphics……. Thank you

He sure makes that look easy.
I'm thinking there is a pretty good learning curve on those.
Absolutely LOVED the comment "But don't ever mess with that... Unless you want to"
(You even gave Matt a 'ballpark' of how MUCH to 'mess with it'. i.e. a full turn is a BUNCH, so go half / quarter turn!)
Customers are human... And Matt is 'more human' than most!
I'll bet Matty is gonna enjoy this video at least as much as I did! You guys are absolute gurus! This pump is gonna run like a Swiss watch on Matty's autocar! Thanks for making such a professional video, & doing such a professional job!
Absolutely phenomenal video. Now I know the rest of the story of the Cummins PT pump.
THANK YOU

Great job guys, can't wait to see Matt get this project done and hauling some equipment.
Excellent work. Really impressive. Enjoyed the comment " don't ever mess with that, unless you want to"
Always informative !!...Great rebuild !!....
It's just incredible the knowledge your company has
Pure professionalism on this channel!
Informative. How a PT pump works in a nutshell. Thanks!!!😊❤
I always enjoy watching the tear down and rebuilding of the equipment.
Totally appreciate how you explain everything. Love the diagrams and graphs and everything yall put into this video!!
Confident professionals sharing their trade and passion. Thanks for sharing such detailed videos. Your precision and care is awesome to watch!
Thanks for showing the details of rebuilding a fuel injection pump. Very interesting for all of us that don't see these that often. I know that you folks have a very reputation, ive heard about you guys from several different sources.
Good viewing - Injector pump strip/inspect/refurb are rare to see. This was really nicely done. Pleasure to watch.
Thanks for the step by step, and please pass thanks to the tech that let us shoulder-surf!
Another great video ! Thanks for sharing !👍
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for doing these
More to come!
Great rebuild and loved the mention of the "HOLD MY BEER SCREW"
Great work gents, excellent collaboration with diesel creek!
I enjoy watching you guys work. Awesome. I know without a doubt that if I have anything diesel related, I am going to you guys.
My NTA420 small cam put 612 to the tires back in the 90s. It has been doing that ever since hauling grain at 80k plus pounds no issues. Keep rail pressure below 300 and things should be ok.

Outstanding job!!! If I ever needed work done you’d definitely be on my speed dial. Stay safe
A very informative video and well produced.
Thank you. I love to see the work of true master craftsmen. You are a dying breed!

I admire this sort of mechanical expertise. These guys can build anything.
