Known issues on the 2004 Sierra 2500. The federal record carries eight recalls for this model year. Among them: a hydraulic brake booster accumulator that can crack and separate from the hydro-boost assembly under normal use; a hydro-boost relief valve bore built out of specification, so the valve seal can fracture and braking and parking take more effort; and a fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip that can fracture and let the damper work loose, which allows fuel to leak. Of 582 owner complaints, 196 fall on the service brakes and 153 on the electrical system, with steering next. The brake and fuel sections carry those diagnostics.
