Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function properly. Leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or wheel cylinders can lead to a loss of braking power.

Brake fade

Overheating of the brake components can cause a reduction in braking efficiency, especially during prolonged or heavy braking.

Brake pedal issues

Problems such as a spongy or hard brake pedal can indicate air in the brake lines, worn brake pads, or issues with the master cylinder.

Warped brake rotors

Excessive heat or improper torqueing of lug nuts can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations and uneven braking.

Flexible fuel system issues

The L96 engine is designed for flexible fuel, but not all vehicles are equipped for it. This can lead to confusion and potential misfueling issues.

Fuel injector problems

The SFI (Sequential Fuel Injection) system can develop issues with fuel injectors, such as clogging or failure, leading to poor engine performance.

Ignition coil failure

The V8 engine has multiple ignition coils, and failure of one or more can cause misfires, rough idling, and reduced power.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain in the L96 engine can wear out, leading to poor engine performance, unusual noises, or even engine failure if not addressed.

Exhaust manifold leaks

The iron construction of the L96 engine's exhaust manifold can develop cracks or leaks, causing exhaust gases to escape and reducing engine efficiency.

Transmission issues

The GMC Savana is known to have occasional transmission problems, such as slipping, hard shifts, or delayed engagement.

Cooling system problems

Overheating can be a concern, particularly with the iron block engine. Issues can arise from a failing water pump, clogged radiator, or coolant leaks.
