Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or wheel cylinders, leading to a loss of braking power.

Brake fade

Overheating of the hydraulic brake system can cause the brake fluid to vaporize, resulting in a temporary loss of braking efficiency.

Brake pedal issues

A soft or spongy brake pedal can indicate air in the hydraulic lines or a problem with the master cylinder.

Head gasket failure

In-line 6-cylinder engines are prone to head gasket issues, which can cause coolant leaks and engine overheating.

Valve train wear

High-output engines, like the one in the 2006 Dodge Ram, can experience accelerated wear on valves, lifters, and camshafts.

Timing chain problems

In-line engines can develop issues with the timing chain or tensioner, leading to improper engine timing and performance issues.

Fuel injector problems

High-output engines may have increased wear on fuel injectors, leading to poor fuel delivery and engine performance.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

In-line 6-cylinder engines can have issues with the crankshaft position sensor, leading to engine misfires or stalling.

Catalytic converter failure

High-output engines produce more emissions, which can lead to premature failure of the catalytic converter.

Egr valve issues

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valves can become clogged or fail, leading to increased emissions and engine performance problems.
