Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

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

Brake fade

Prolonged or aggressive braking can cause the brake system to overheat, reducing its ability to generate friction and effectively stop the vehicle.

Warped brake rotors

Over time, the brake rotors can warp due to excessive heat, causing vibrations or pulsations during braking.

Engine overheating

The V-shaped, 8-cylinder engine can be prone to overheating, especially if the cooling system is not properly maintained.

Oil leaks

Due to the age of the vehicle, gasket and seal wear can lead to oil leaks from the engine.

Fuel system issues

The LPG conversion can introduce complications, such as fuel delivery problems or difficulties in starting the engine.

Ignition system problems

Older vehicles like the 1989 Suburban can experience issues with ignition components such as the distributor, spark plugs, and ignition coils.

Exhaust manifold cracks

V-shaped engines can sometimes develop cracks in the exhaust manifold, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced engine performance.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear out, causing engine timing issues and potential engine damage if not addressed.

General wear and tear

Given the age of the vehicle, various components such as hoses, belts, and rubber parts may be prone to wear and need regular inspection and replacement.
