We've got ourselves involved in a unique one here, a pump reman and injector replacement for a "while we're at it" engine overhaul project!
Diesel Creek's Matt is in the process of upgrading his 1980 AutoCar ConsTrucktor from it's equipped Cummins Small Cam rated Engine to the over-the-road standby Cummins Big Cam Engine! Going from approximately 230 HP rated engine to a customized Big Cam rated around 400 HP.
The Facebook Marketplace #CumminsBigCam engine came from a rollover and Matt's deep into the engine swap making sure it all goes back together perfectly! So, "while were at it" lets make sure the PT pump is in top shape. @AreaDieselService is also supplying a new set up PT injectors as well as an engine overhaul kit for this collaborative project!
Story has it, this Autocar ConsTrucktor was a service rig for the fabled mining monster - the Silver Spade shovel! (Silver Spade footage from - @miningshorts - • The Silver Spade - The... )

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.
Area Diesel is fortunate to have such talented employees.
...Agreed !!!
Agree 100%!!!
Worth their weight in gold I would think! Pay em' well!
The guy in this video perfectly exemplifies what knowledge, skill, and experience can accomplish if used intelligently. Great work, great video.
Thanks for watching!
I think this skilled worker has no need to worry about AI or a robot replacing him anytime in our lifetime.
Excellent presentation on the full process of rebuilding a PT pump! I enjoy seeing professionals doing it the right 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...
at least matt didnt send you a basket case this time.
You have some real masters down there. They take pride in their work and you don't see much of that anymore.
It's really nice to see somebody "rebuilding" a part instead of tossing it in the a landfill and replacing the entire component!
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.
another excellent description of the innerworkings of complex device. :)
Area Diesel to the rescue! Good to see you guys working with Matt once again, love watching the pros get it done.
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.
Don't ever mess with that! unless you want to. Words to live by.
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!
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.😄
Love this s&it. Much better than TV.
Who needs TV??
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!
Take my hat off to guys who can do this like they are making a cup of coffee - skilled tradesmen
They are probably happy to get a pump from Matt in one piece
HE MAKES IT LOOK LIKE A WALK IN THE PARK . I THINK ONE COULD SAY HE HAS DONE ONE OR TWO OF THEM 😂😂
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.
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.
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”
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.
🎉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.
THUMBS UP on Area Diesel Service where EVERYTHING seems to be possible.
The tech should get on camera. He'd be a rock star.
Professionalism all over !! 👏👏
Awesome content and support graphics……. Thank you
Thanks for the extensive narrative.
Thanks for listening
Not all heroes wear capes…
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.😊😊
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!
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! 💪👍✅️😊🍺
1:05:50 "Don't ever mess with that (screw), unless you want to." Love you guys!
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.
Excellent work. Really impressive. Enjoyed the comment " don't ever mess with that, unless you want to"
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.
Absolutely phenomenal video. Now I know the rest of the story of the Cummins PT pump. THANK YOU
Thanks for doing these
More to come!
Dont ever mess with this, unless you want to! Brilliant.Thanks Curtis.
Love you guys created a channel and film this stuff. Fun community of gearheads
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 👍
Mr camera shy is a absolute beast excellent work my friend
Always informative !!...Great rebuild !!....
Another great video ! Thanks for sharing !👍
Thanks for watching!
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.
Informative. How a PT pump works in a nutshell. Thanks!!!😊❤
Great rebuild and loved the mention of the "HOLD MY BEER SCREW"
I still think the ConsTrucktor is a disguised Decepticon.
It's just incredible the knowledge your company has
thank you so much, man you are awesome
Pure professionalism on this channel!
@1:06:24 "Don't ever mess with that... unless you want to". Wonderful :D
Great job guys, can't wait to see Matt get this project done and hauling some equipment.
You should get that poor guy his own press!
Great watching experter.
Confident professionals sharing their trade and passion. Thanks for sharing such detailed videos. Your precision and care is awesome to watch!
Thank you area diesel service for the video. ❤
Job well done the man knows how to make sure the customer will be pleased 👍😎🇺🇸 NY
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.
Thanks for the step by step, and please pass thanks to the tech that let us shoulder-surf!
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.
He sure makes that look easy. I'm thinking there is a pretty good learning curve on those.
Great video. Love watching old school component rebuilds
Oh I almost forgot about Clinton from C & C Equipment, he has mentioned you as well.😊
Totally appreciate how you explain everything. Love the diagrams and graphs and everything yall put into this video!!
WOW !!! Great video. Made a heart transplant look like clipping your toe nails.
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!
Matt needs to learn how to pack a pump. Yes I'm the lunatic that sent the Kubota pump in a hard case, surrounded by foam in a double cardboard box
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.
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
I remember an old saying if it ain't turning it ain't burning
Fantastic. Thanks for all you do. Rockin it in Carlinville!
Outstanding job!!! If I ever needed work done you’d definitely be on my speed dial. Stay safe
Yall have great taste in music.😊 Great job on that pump.
I did come to watch you guys from Matt's channel before when he had something else worked on by you all. I'm amazed that you all do such an amazing, job. Back in my day when I was a diesel mechanic I only worked on farm tractor engines and didn't have any of the calibration machines you guys have. I always just had to go with the measurements of components. I mostly worked on Massey Ferguson tractors but I have worked on some John Deere and Ford stuff but nothing as independent as what you guys do. To know that everything you work on you keep such in depth records on each one and if something happens to it and it's not working correctly you can call you all up and you can tell what it left your shop doing and not make it guess work. It's so cool to see true professionals work on those pumps and injectors I know a lot of the injections you source from other reman company's but I've saw some you all did thanks to being introduced by Matt's channel. I always watch your new videos just like Hank's stuff from Hamilton ville farms channel. Or anything you guys post. Thanks for such detailed videos. I as a former diesel mechanic love seeing these type videos. Keep up the good work I'll be watching. PS: I haven't watched Matt box up the pump or injectors yet but now I've got to go see this. Since Matt's channel one of my very favorite channels and I'll try to stay a week behind on his new stuff so I have something new to watch.
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
Great work gents, excellent collaboration with diesel creek!
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!
Great vid, clear description of the work througout and good clarification. Keep it up!
Fantastic explanation with the supporting animation
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
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.
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.
I admire this sort of mechanical expertise. These guys can build anything.
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.
I was looking forward to this one.
42:55 "Get it wet a little bit" "Slip it right down in there!" 🤷🏻♂️👍🏻👌🏻👈🏻😂😂🤔🤦🏻♂️ Couldn't resist!
hello Area Diesel Service & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Area Diesel Service & Friends Randy
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
I started this vid thinking, sleeper. Turned out very interesting. Great information.
Great job great explanation great video thanks Curtis and crew
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.
A very informative video and well produced. Thank you. I love to see the work of true master craftsmen. You are a dying breed!
Awesome video . I hope to see him install it soon and get it running
You guys are awesome. It’s amazing the knowledge you guys have. I learned a lot but there is no way I can apply that knowledge. Thank you. Keep up the great work ✌️
Beau knows!
Wow a master at his craft
