Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on fluid pressure, and leaks can lead to reduced braking efficiency.

Brake pedal feels spongy

Air in the hydraulic brake lines can cause a spongy brake pedal feel.

Worn brake pads or rotors

Regular use leads to wear and tear on these components, reducing braking power.

Abs sensor malfunction

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) sensors can fail, leading to warning lights and reduced braking performance.

Overheating brakes

Excessive use, especially in heavy vehicles like the GMC Sierra, can cause the brakes to overheat and lose effectiveness.

Oil consumption issues

The LM7 engine is known for potential excessive oil consumption, which can lead to low oil levels and engine damage if not monitored.

Intake manifold gasket leaks

The V-shaped configuration of the LM7 engine can suffer from intake manifold gasket leaks, leading to rough idling and misfires.

Knock sensor failure

The LM7 engine can experience knock sensor issues, which can affect engine timing and performance.

Cooling system problems

Iron block engines like the LM7 can suffer from rust and corrosion in the cooling system, leading to overheating.

Fuel injector problems

Clogged or failing fuel injectors can cause rough running and poor fuel efficiency.

Serpentine belt wear

The serpentine belt in the V8 engine can wear out over time, which affects multiple engine accessories.

Spark plug and ignition coil issues

The V8 configuration can lead to difficulties in accessing and replacing spark plugs and ignition coils, which can cause misfires and poor performance.
