Most common problems:

Brake fluid leak

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in brake lines, hoses, or the master cylinder, leading to decreased braking performance or brake failure.

Brake master cylinder failure

The master cylinder can wear out over time, causing a loss of hydraulic pressure and resulting in a spongy brake pedal or complete brake failure.

Brake caliper sticking

Calipers can stick due to corrosion or debris, leading to uneven braking and premature brake pad wear.

Brake pad wear

Regular wear and tear of brake pads can lead to reduced braking efficiency or damage to the brake rotors if not replaced in time.

Hydraulic system air bubbles

Air can enter the hydraulic system, causing a spongy brake pedal and reduced braking efficiency.

Vibration during braking

Warped brake rotors can cause vibrations and reduced braking performance.

Oil leaks

V-shaped (V8) engines like the one in the 1987 Chevrolet Blazer can develop oil leaks from valve covers, oil pans, or other seals and gaskets, leading to reduced engine performance or damage.

Cooling system issues

V8 engines can experience cooling issues such as radiator leaks, failing water pumps, or clogged coolant passages, leading to overheating.

Ignition system problems

The V8 engine may experience issues with the distributor, spark plugs, or ignition coils, leading to misfires or poor engine performance.

Fuel delivery problems

The fuel system, including fuel pumps or fuel injectors, can develop issues that affect engine performance, especially if the vehicle has been converted to LPG.

Exhaust manifold cracks

V8 engines are prone to developing cracks in the exhaust manifold, leading to exhaust leaks and increased engine noise.

Lpg conversion issues

If the engine has been converted to LPG, it may face additional issues like fuel system compatibility, improper tuning, or difficulty starting in cold weather.
