Rotors can become warped or damaged, causing vibrations and reduced braking efficiency.
Engine misfires
V8 engines with electronic fuel injection may experience misfires due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or injectors.
Oil leaks
Older engines, such as those in a 1999 Dodge Ram, may develop oil leaks from gaskets or seals.

Coolant leaks from the radiator, hoses, or water pump can lead to overheating.
Fuel system problems
Electronic fuel injection systems can have issues with fuel pumps, injectors, or fuel filters, leading to performance problems.
Timing chain/belt issues
Over time, the timing chain or belt can wear out and may need to be replaced to prevent engine damage.
Exhaust manifold leaks
Exhaust manifolds can develop cracks or leaks, leading to increased engine noise and potential exhaust fumes entering the cabin.
