Electrical Truck Knowledge: An understanding of the vehicles electrical systems, including battery charging, alternators, sensors, and power distribution, is crucial.
Diagnosing Engine Problems:
A major part of the job involves identifying issues in diesel engines using specialized diagnostic equipment or by conducting manual inspections. Diesel engines are complex, and problems can range from issues with fuel injection systems to electrical faults or mechanical failures.

Mechanics are responsible for ensuring trucks remain in good working condition through routine maintenance. This includes changing oil and filters, replacing air and fuel filters, checking and replacing fluids, inspecting belts, and conducting other preventative checks that help prevent more significant issues down the road.

When a diesel engine malfunctions, the mechanic must repair or replace parts such as the turbocharger, fuel injectors, pistons, cylinder heads, or timing belts. They may need to disassemble parts of the engine, diagnose the root cause of the issue, and replace worn-out or damaged components.
Electrical System Troubleshooting:
Diesel engines often include sophisticated electrical systems that manage fuel delivery, starting systems, and emission controls. Mechanics use tools such as multimeters and diagnostic scanners to check and repair electrical circuits, sensors, alternators, batteries, and more.
