This master-level role operates well beyond scheduled preventative maintenance. We require a diagnostic and rebuild specialist with proven master-tier mastery of Freightliner Cascadia platforms, complete Detroit DD15 engine overhauls, differential carrier rebuilds, automated (Detroit DT12) and manual (Eaton Fuller) transmissions, and advanced ECM/module flashing and parameter programming using Detroit and Freightliner factory software.
Core Duties and Master Technical Specializations- Lead complete in-chassis and out-of-chassis engine overhauls on Detroit DD15 (and DD13/DD16) platforms, executing counter bore resurfacing, cylinder liner protrusion/shim adjustments, piston/rod pack replacements, and crankshaft journal/bearing overhauls.
- Perform precision cylinder head rebuilds, valve train geometry setups, dual overhead camshaft timing gear synchronization, high-pressure fuel pump replacements, and injector quantity calibration.
- Perform full bench teardown, inspection, and rebuild of heavy-duty Class 8 tandem drive forward and rear differential carriers (Detroit DA-RT-40.0, Meritor 14X/160 series, and Dana Spicer).
- Set and verify critical pinion bearing preloads, ring-and-pinion backlash, and gear tooth contact patterns (drive/coast); rebuild inter-axle differentials (IAD / power divider), driver-controlled differential locks (DCDL), side gears, and cross shafts.

- Program, calibrate, and parameterize Detroit Engine Controllers (MCM), Motor Control Modules (CPC4 / CPC5), Aftertreatment Control Modules (ACM), and Transmission Control Modules (TCM).
- Configure and troubleshoot Freightliner multiplexed body controllers (SAM Cab & SAM Chassis), smart switches, CAN bus J1939/J1708 data backbones, and resolve complex terminating resistor faults.
- Diagnose, overhaul, and adapt Detroit DT12 automated manual transmissions (AMTs), including dual-clutch replacements, pneumatic clutch actuator replacements, split-gear cylinders, and learn-cycle adaptions.
- Overhaul and service Eaton Fuller 10, 13, and 18-speed manual transmissions, auxiliary sections, synchronize rs, shift forks, sliding clutches, dual-plate manual clutches, release bearings, and cross shafts.
- Rebuild and troubleshoot CARB/EPA exhaust aftertreatment, including Detroit "One-Box" removals, SCR catalysts, DPF differential pressure sensors, DEF doser calibration, and hydrocarbon injector service.
- Service DOT MC-331 / MC-330 bulk cargo vessels, Blackmer/Corken liquid pumps, compressors, Fisher internal safety valves, and remote pneumatic Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD).
- Perform 90-day California Highway Patrol (CHP) BIT inspections and annual DOT periodic inspections, certifying absolute roadworthiness prior to dispatch.
- Assist with training and mentoring other mechanics when needed.
- Professional Experience
- 7–10+ years of professional experience working on heavy-duty Calss 8 diesel fleet maintenance experience.
- Demonstrated track record executing major engine overhauls (Detroit DD15), differential carrier rebuilds, and transmission overhauls.
