Worn brake pads or rotors
Over time, brake pads and rotors can wear out, leading to reduced braking performance and increased stopping distances.
Air in brake lines
Air bubbles in the hydraulic brake lines can cause a spongy brake pedal and reduced braking efficiency.
Warped brake rotors
Heat and stress can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibration and pulsation when braking.
Injector failure
The Isuzu LLY V8 engine may experience issues with fuel injectors, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.
Turbocharger problems
Turbocharger failure can occur in the LLY engine, leading to loss of power and increased exhaust smoke.
