THIS BULLETIN CANCELS AND REPLACES TRUCK SERVICE BULLETIN 88-T-85 DATED FEBRUARY, 1988, ALL COPIES OF WHICH SHOULD BE DISCARDED. THIS BULLETIN HAS BEEN REVISED TO CORRECT MODEL APPLICATION.
Some 1988 C/K 10-30 trucks may have been built with incorred Air Injection Reaction System (A.I.R.) check valves and may experience a chirping noise at idle. This condition may be diagnosed by disconnecting the A.I.R. hoses at the check valves and repeating the condition at which the noise occurred. If the noise is eliminated, the A.I.R. hoses should be recon- nected and the check valves should be replaced with check valve, P/N 22050642. Parts are currently available from GMSPO.
