Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems rely on fluid to transfer force; leaks can lead to reduced braking efficiency or complete brake failure.
Brake pad wear
Regular use causes brake pads to wear down, which can result in reduced braking performance and increased stopping distances.
Brake rotor warping
Excessive heat or uneven pad wear can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations and reduced braking effectiveness.
Brake master cylinder failure
The master cylinder converts pedal force into hydraulic pressure; if it fails, the brakes may not function properly.
Engine overheating
The V-shaped Duramax LMM engine can suffer from overheating issues, often due to coolant leaks or radiator problems.
Injector failure
Duramax LMM engines are known for injector issues, which can cause poor performance, rough idling, and increased emissions.
Turbocharger problems
Turbocharger failures can lead to reduced power output and increased exhaust smoke.
Glow plug failure
Diesel engines like the Duramax LMM rely on glow plugs for cold starts; failure can make starting difficult in cold weather.
Dpf (diesel particulate filter) clogging
DPFs can become clogged over time, leading to reduced engine performance and increased fuel consumption.
Fuel system contamination
Contaminants in the fuel system can cause injector and pump failures, leading to poor engine performance.
Transmission problems
The Silverado is known to have issues with its automatic transmission, including slipping, hard shifts, and failure.
Electrical issues
Common electrical problems include faulty wiring, sensor failures, and issues with the vehicle's computer systems.

Other Engine Info
DPI: Deep Packet Inspection
Problems:
Brake fluid leakage
Hydraulic brake systems can suffer from brake fluid leaks, which lead to reduced braking efficiency.
Brake pad wear
Over time, brake pads wear down and need to be replaced to ensure optimal braking performance.
Master cylinder failure
The master cylinder in hydraulic brake systems can fail, causing a loss of braking power.
Brake line corrosion
Corrosion in brake lines can lead to leaks and reduced braking effectiveness.
Injector issues
The GM LMM engine is known to have problems with fuel injectors, leading to issues such as rough idling and poor fuel economy.
Turbocharger failure
V-shaped engines like the GM LMM often have turbocharger issues, which can result in a loss of power and increased exhaust smoke.
Diesel particulate filter (dpf) clogging
The LMM engine's DPF can become clogged, causing reduced engine performance and increased exhaust backpressure.
Egr valve problems
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can get stuck or fail, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.
Overheating
V-shaped engines can sometimes suffer from overheating issues, especially if the cooling system is not properly maintained.
Glow plug failure
Diesel engines, like the GM LMM, rely on glow plugs for cold starts, and failure can make starting the engine difficult in cold weather.
Crankshaft position sensor failure
This can cause engine stalling, misfires, and difficulty starting.
Oil leaks
V-shaped engines can have issues with oil leaks, often from valve covers or oil pan gaskets.
