Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems are prone to leaks, which can cause a loss of braking power and potentially lead to brake failure.
Brake pedal feels spongy
Air trapped in the hydraulic brake lines can create a spongy feeling when pressing the brake pedal, reducing braking efficiency.
Brake fade
Overheating of the brake components, especially during heavy use, can result in reduced braking performance.
Abs system malfunction
Issues with the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) can cause warning lights to appear on the dashboard and affect braking performance.
Turbocharger failure
The turbocharger in the DURAMAX LML engine can fail, leading to a decrease in engine performance and efficiency.
Fuel injector issues
Problems with the fuel injectors in the DURAMAX LML engine can cause rough idling, misfires, and poor fuel economy.
Dpf (diesel particulate filter) clogging
The DPF can become clogged over time, causing loss of power, reduced fuel efficiency, and triggering warning lights.
Egr (exhaust gas recirculation) valve problems
The EGR valve can become clogged or fail, leading to increased emissions and potential engine performance issues.
Glow plug failure
