🔧 Engine (6VD1 / 6VE1):
Increased oil consumption (especially 6VE1 3.5L)
Causes: wear of oil scraper rings, crankcase ventilation (PCV), coking.
Consequences: smoke, sticking of rings, risk of cylinder scoring.
Leaking valve cover gaskets and timing cover
Oil leaks on exhaust manifolds, possible burning smell.
Engine overheating
Causes: clogged radiator, faulty thermostat, coolant leaks.
Vulnerable point - intake manifold (antifreeze leak).
Unstable idling
Often associated with contamination of the throttle valve or malfunction of the IACV (idle air control valve).
⚡ Electrical:
Instrument cluster malfunctions
Flashing lights, unstable speedometer/tachometer readings.
Generator malfunctions
Charging problems, in some cases short circuit of diodes.
⚙️ Transmission:
Automatic transmission (4L30-E)
Overheating, kicks, delayed shifting.
Often caused by dirty oil, clogged filter or overheating.
Transfer case (TOD – Torque on Demand)
Failures are possible due to wear of sensors or failure of the transfer case ECU.
🛞 Chassis:
Front suspension — rapid wear of ball joints and stabilizer bushings
Play and extraneous knocking are possible.
Front differential and drive seal leaks
🧊 Other:
Rear frame corrosion (especially in northern regions)
Often leads to technical inspection failure.
ABS and "Check TOD" system failures
Causes: dirt on wheel speed sensors, worn wiring.
