Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

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

Worn brake pads or shoes

Over time, brake pads or shoes wear out and need to be replaced to maintain proper braking performance.

Brake master cylinder failure

The master cylinder can fail, leading to a loss of hydraulic pressure and braking capability.

Engine overheating

V-shaped engines, especially older models like the 1987, can experience cooling issues, leading to overheating.

Oil leaks

Older V8 engines can develop oil leaks from gaskets, seals, or the oil pan.

Ignition system problems

Older engines can have issues with the ignition system, including worn spark plugs, distributor problems, or faulty ignition coils.

Fuel system issues

Problems with the fuel pump, fuel filter, or carburetor/injectors can lead to poor engine performance or stalling.

Timing chain/belt wear

The timing chain or belt can wear out, leading to engine timing issues and potentially severe engine damage if not addressed.

Exhaust manifold cracks

V8 engines, especially those used in heavy-duty applications like military trucks, can develop cracks in the exhaust manifold, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced performance.

Vacuum leaks

Older engines can develop vacuum leaks due to cracked or brittle hoses, leading to poor engine performance and drivability issues.
