Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the lines, master cylinder, or calipers, leading to reduced braking performance.

Brake pad wear

Over time, brake pads wear down and need to be replaced to maintain effective braking.

Warped brake rotors

Intense heat from braking can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations and reduced braking efficiency.

Injector failure

DURAMAX engines, including the LML model, are known to have issues with fuel injectors failing or leaking.

Turbocharger issues

The turbocharger in the DURAMAX LML engine can suffer from wear and tear, leading to reduced power and efficiency.

Dpf (diesel particulate filter) clogging

The DPF can become clogged over time, causing reduced engine performance and increased exhaust backpressure.

Egr (exhaust gas recirculation) system problems

The EGR valve can become clogged with soot, leading to reduced engine performance and increased emissions.

Glow plug failure

Diesel engines like the DURAMAX LML rely on glow plugs for cold starts, and these can fail over time, making starting difficult.

Crankshaft position sensor issues

Faulty crankshaft position sensors can cause starting issues and erratic engine performance.

Transmission problems

The Silverado's transmission may suffer from issues like slipping, rough shifting, or failure, especially if not properly maintained.
