Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to operate effectively. Leaks can lead to reduced braking efficiency and potential brake failure.
Worn brake pads
Over time, brake pads wear down and need replacement. Worn pads can reduce braking performance and cause damage to the rotors.
Engine misfire
The L96 engine might experience misfires due to ignition coil failure, spark plug issues, or fuel injector problems.
Excessive oil consumption
Some GM engines have been reported to consume more oil than expected, which can lead to engine damage if not monitored regularly.
Transmission issues
The Silverado is known to have potential transmission problems, including hard shifting or slipping gears, which can affect the overall drivability.
Fuel system problems
Issues with the fuel pump or fuel injectors can lead to poor fuel economy, rough idling, and difficulty starting the engine.
Cooling system failures
Problems with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat can cause the engine to overheat, leading to potential engine damage.
Electrical system faults
Electrical issues, such as faulty wiring or sensor failures, can lead to various problems including check engine lights, malfunctioning gauges, or starting issues.
Rust and corrosion
Depending on the environment, the Silverado can experience rust and corrosion, particularly on the undercarriage and brake lines, affecting the structural integrity and safety of the vehicle.
