Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can sometimes develop leaks, which can lead to reduced braking performance. Check for any visible leaks under the vehicle or around the brake lines and master cylinder.

Brake pedal fade

If the brake pedal feels soft or spongy, it may indicate air in the hydraulic lines or worn brake components, which can reduce braking effectiveness.

Engine oil leaks

V-shaped engines, such as V8s, are prone to oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets or oil pan. Check for oil spots under the vehicle or oil accumulation around the engine.

Intake manifold gasket failure

The V8 engines in older models like the 1996 GMT-400 can experience intake manifold gasket failures, leading to coolant leaks or vacuum leaks.

Ignition system issues

Older V8 engines can suffer from worn distributor caps, rotor, or ignition wires, leading to misfires or rough idling.

Transmission problems

The GMT-400 models sometimes face automatic transmission issues, such as slipping or hard shifting, often due to worn components or fluid issues.

Fuel pump failure

Fuel delivery issues can arise due to a failing fuel pump, leading to stalling or difficulty starting the engine.

Cooling system problems

The cooling system may develop issues such as radiator leaks or failing water pumps, which can cause the engine to overheat.
