Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function correctly. Leaks can lead to a loss of braking power and increased stopping distances.
Brake pedal feels spongy
Air in the hydraulic brake lines can cause the brake pedal to feel spongy or less responsive.
Rotor wear
Over time, brake rotors can become worn or warped, leading to vibrations or reduced braking effectiveness.
Caliper sticking
Brake calipers can sometimes stick, causing uneven braking or dragging brakes.
Master cylinder failure
The master cylinder is critical for hydraulic brake function. If it fails, it can result in a complete loss of braking capability.
Abs (anti-lock brake system) issues
The ABS may malfunction, leading to reduced control during hard braking.
Duramax diesel engine injector problems (lbz)
The LBZ 6.6L Duramax engine can face injector failures, leading to poor performance and increased emissions.
Egr valve problems (lbz)
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valves can get clogged or fail, affecting engine performance and emissions.
Head gasket issues (l61)
The L61 2.2L engine can sometimes suffer from head gasket failures, leading to coolant leaks and engine overheating.
Timing chain wear (l61)
The L61 engine's timing chain can wear out, leading to potential engine timing issues and performance problems.
Turbocharger issues (lbz)
The LBZ 6.6L turbo diesel engine may experience turbocharger failures, affecting power and efficiency.
Dpf (diesel particulate filter) clogging (lbz)
The DPF in the LBZ engine can become clogged, leading to reduced performance and increased exhaust backpressure.
Fuel injector issues (l61)
The L61 engine may face fuel injector problems, leading to poor fuel economy and misfires.
