Some 1986-88 6000 vehicles equipped with wire wheel covers may exhibit a creaking/clicking type noise while being driven.

Current production and service covers have been modified to eliminate this noise. Modified covers were put into production on a running change with the following VIN breakpoints:

If this type noise is experienced and has been determined to come from the covers, the following procedure should be followed:

1. Insure that the cover is installed properly, especially that the retention bolt is securely fastened.

2. Switch cover to another wheel.

3. If this does not work replace the cover with a new cover, part number 10091785, from GMSPO.

Use applicable labor operation number and time.
