- Overheating & Head Gasket Failure (Series 4)Serious

- Suction Control Valve (SCV) FailureModerate
The SCV on the fuel pump frequently fails, causing erratic idling and stalling.
- Chassis RustSerious
Like many pickups of this era, the chassis is highly susceptible to structural corrosion if not protected.
