Subject: NOISY TRANSFER CASE IN 4-HIGH


Model and Year: 1988-91 T TRUCKS WITH 231HD TRANSFER CASE
TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS

Some 1988-1991 T trucks may experience a noisy transfer case when the truck is in 4-high. The noise is caused by rotation of the chain and gears and is transmitted through the transfer case shift linkage into the body interior.

A quieter "T" pattern transfer case chain and softer durometer shift rod grommets have been released to decrease the noise level. The chain can be identified by two blue links while the previous design contained one blue link. The softer grommets are orange or beige while the previous design grommets were white.
