Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems often face issues with brake fluid leaks, which can result in reduced braking efficiency and potential brake failure.

Brake fade

Continuous or heavy braking can cause brake fade, where the brakes lose their effectiveness due to overheating.

Abs sensor failure

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) sensors can fail or become dirty, causing the ABS to malfunction or not engage properly.

Brake pad wear

Brake pads can wear out, leading to reduced braking performance and the need for replacement.

Master cylinder failure

The master cylinder can fail or develop leaks, affecting the overall hydraulic pressure in the brake system.

Caliper sticking

Brake calipers can stick, causing uneven brake pad wear and pulling to one side during braking.

Engine misfires

The V-shaped, 6-cylinder engine (Model L35) might experience misfires due to issues like faulty spark plugs or ignition coils.

Oil leaks

V-shaped engines are prone to oil leaks, especially from valve cover gaskets and oil pan gaskets.

Coolant leaks

The engine may develop coolant leaks from the radiator, hoses, or water pump, leading to overheating issues.

Intake manifold gasket failure

The intake manifold gasket can fail, causing coolant and air leaks that affect engine performance.

Fuel injector problems

CPI (Central Port Injection) systems can have issues with fuel injectors getting clogged or failing.

Timing chain issues

Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear out, leading to poor engine timing and performance.

Exhaust manifold cracks

The exhaust manifold can develop cracks due to heat cycles, causing exhaust leaks and affecting engine efficiency.

Transmission problems

The automatic transmission in older Chevrolet Silverado models can experience issues like slipping, rough shifting, or failure.

Electrical system issues

Older vehicles can have problems with the electrical system, such as faulty wiring, failing sensors, and issues with the ECU.
