Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can often suffer from leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or calipers, causing reduced braking efficiency.

Brake pedal feels spongy

Air can get trapped in the hydraulic brake lines, leading to a spongy or soft brake pedal feel and decreased braking performance.

Brake pads wear out quickly

Frequent use in heavy vehicles like the WORKHORSE W22 can lead to accelerated wear of brake pads.

Engine overheating

The V-shaped, 8.1 V8 MFI engine may experience overheating issues, particularly if the cooling system is not maintained properly.

Poor fuel economy

The large displacement of the 8.1 V8 engine can result in poor fuel efficiency, exacerbated by driving habits or maintenance neglect.

Engine misfires

The V8 configuration may experience misfires due to issues with the ignition system, fuel injectors, or spark plugs.

Exhaust manifold leaks

The 8.1 V8 engine's exhaust manifolds can develop cracks or leaks over time, leading to increased noise and potential emissions issues.

Oil consumption

Older V8 engines like the 8.1 V8 MFI can consume more oil due to worn piston rings or valve seals.

Transmission issues

The WORKHORSE W22 may encounter problems with the automatic transmission, such as slipping, rough shifting, or fluid leaks.

Suspension wear

The heavy-duty nature of the WORKHORSE W22 can lead to accelerated wear of suspension components like bushings, shocks, and springs.

Electrical problems

Aging wiring and connections can cause various electrical issues, from malfunctioning lights to problems with the engine control unit (ECU).

Rust and corrosion

Depending on the environmental conditions where the vehicle is operated, rust and corrosion can affect the frame, body, and undercarriage components.
