Problems:
Brake fluid leak
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function properly. A leak in the brake lines, master cylinder, or brake calipers can lead to reduced braking performance.
Brake master cylinder failure
The master cylinder is essential for converting pedal pressure into hydraulic pressure. If it fails, the braking system will not work effectively.
Warped brake rotors
Over time, brake rotors can warp due to high heat, leading to brake pulsation or vibration when braking.
Brake pad wear
Brake pads wear out over time and need regular replacement to ensure proper braking performance.
Engine overheating
V-shaped engines, especially older models like the 1994 GMC Suburban, can suffer from overheating issues, often due to coolant leaks or radiator problems.
Oil leaks
V8 engines are prone to oil leaks from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or front and rear main seals.
Ignition system problems
Older V8 engines can experience issues with the ignition system, such as faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or distributor problems.
Fuel system issues
The LPG conversion can introduce additional complexity, leading to potential problems with fuel delivery or fuel system leaks.
Exhaust manifold cracks
V8 engines can develop cracks in the exhaust manifold, leading to exhaust leaks and potential performance issues.
Timing chain/belt wear
Over time, the timing chain or belt can wear out, leading to poor engine performance or failure to start.
Vacuum leaks
Older engines can develop vacuum leaks in hoses or gaskets, leading to rough idling or poor fuel economy.
Transmission wear
The 1994 GMC Suburban's automatic transmission may develop issues over time, such as slipping gears or delayed shifting.
