Prolonged use of brakes, especially when towing or descending steep grades, can cause the brake fluid to overheat and lose effectiveness.
Warped brake rotors
Repeated hard braking can cause the rotors to warp, leading to vibrations and reduced braking performance.
Egr valve failure
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve in the LML DURAMAX engine can become clogged or fail, causing poor engine performance and increased emissions.
Injector failure
The fuel injectors in the DURAMAX engine can fail or become clogged, leading to rough idling, misfires, and reduced fuel economy.
Turbocharger issues
The turbocharger in the DURAMAX engine can experience problems such as bearing failure, oil leaks, or boost pressure loss, affecting engine performance.
Glow plug failure
Glow plugs in diesel engines like the DURAMAX can wear out or fail, making cold starts difficult.
Dpf (diesel particulate filter) clogging
The DPF can become clogged with soot and ash, leading to reduced engine performance and increased exhaust backpressure.
