Problems:

Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function properly. Leaks can cause a loss of pressure and braking ability.
Brake fade
Extended use of the brakes can cause the hydraulic fluid to overheat, reducing its effectiveness and causing brake fade.
Abs malfunction
Issues with the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) can lead to reduced braking efficiency and increased stopping distances.
Engine overheating
A common problem with Cummins engines, especially in heavy-duty trucks, is overheating due to issues with the cooling system.
Injector problems
Cummins engines can experience injector failures, leading to poor engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Egr valve issues
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can become clogged or fail, causing rough idling and reduced engine performance.
Turbocharger failures
Turbochargers in Cummins engines can fail, resulting in a loss of power and increased exhaust emissions.
Dpf clogging
Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) can become clogged, leading to reduced engine performance and potential engine damage.
Transmission problems
RAM 2500 models can experience transmission issues, such as hard shifting or slipping, affecting overall drivability.
Electrical issues
Problems with the vehicle's electrical system, such as faulty sensors or wiring issues, can affect both engine performance and brake system functionality.
