How many times have you watched automotive how-to shows on cable TV and wondered how they make it look so easy, and where did they get all those expensive tools? If you're like most automotive enthusiasts, you don't have any of those awesome tools, let alone a lift in your garage.

To Chris Duke, host of the web TV show, iTunes podcast, and TV program Motorz, keeping how-to installations real for enthusiasts became his calling. By showing the average Joe how to install products on his vehicle using common tools he has in his garage, anyone can walk away from an episode having the confidence to go out and buy that product they always wanted on their ride and install it themselves.

Diesel engines are a little less forgiving if maintenance is neglected. IC engines can operate in more hostile environments with less concern. The average car owner may not change oil at the prescribed schedule and get away with it. He can go thousands of miles over the life of a spark plug and the car will still run. Diesels require a good maintenance schedule that a car owner may not wish to adhere to. Not doing so can result in more expensive maintenance down the road. Care of fuel injectors is not something you want to skip. Good filtration is another.
