The team behind Torquebench

Built by techs who still take the calls.

Every TorqueBench course is written, recorded, and reviewed by a working technician whose name is on the page. These aren't curriculum directors or content producers — they're the people who still pick up the phone when a swap goes sideways.

Instructor bios

Four disciplines. Four named authors.

Each instructor owns one domain. They built the curriculum, they record the modules, and they update the content when platform specs change.

Caleb WhitfieldLS Engine Swap Specialist
18 yrs shop experience
LS swap shop owner · Phoenix AZ
400+ swaps completed

Caleb has been building GM V8 swaps since 2006, starting on C10 trucks in his parents' driveway and opening a dedicated LS shop in 2014. He's covered everything from a stock LS1 in a Fox-body Mustang to a boosted LS3 in a '73 Land Cruiser. His courses are built from the questions apprentices actually ask on install day — not from a syllabus.

Marco DelaneyLS Harness & GM LAN Specialist
12 yrs automotive electrical
ASE L1
Former GM dealer diagnostic tech

Marco spent six years as a diagnostic tech at a high-volume GM dealer before going independent. He's traced intermittent faults on GM LAN buses others had given up on, rebuilt harnesses for over 200 swap projects, and developed a schematic-reading method he now teaches — starting from the ground circuit, not the fuse box.

Daryl SotoDiesel Diagnostics Lead
16 yrs commercial diesel
ASE A9 + L2
Cummins, Power Stroke & Duramax certified

Daryl ran the diesel bay at a fleet maintenance shop for a decade before switching to independent consulting. His diagnostic approach — compression baseline first, fuel supply second, injection system third — cuts average fault-to-fix time in half. He writes every module against a real repair he's done in the previous 12 months.

Junie ParkWiring Diagnostician & Schematic Reader
11 yrs automotive electrical
ASE A6
Former OEM harness validation engineer

Junie spent three years in harness validation at an OEM supplier before moving to shop work. She approaches a wiring fault the way a systems engineer would: define the network, isolate the segment, prove the path. Her schematic-literacy module is the most-referenced course in the TorqueBench library.

Why authorship matters

Built by the tech on the floor

Authors own shops, work bays, and on-call rotations. Every module is reviewed against a real repair, not a marketing brief.

Diagnostic drills, not slideshows

Modules end with a scored drill where the next move is yours — the way a senior tech quizzes an apprentice at the bench.

Working-technician authored

The name on the course is the person who wrote it, teaches it, and updates it when the platform changes.
