RADIATOR LEAKS DUE TO WEAR FROM A/C LINE INSULATION

MODELS AFFECTED: 1988 SKYHAWKS

The air conditioning suction/discharge line ordered as a replacement part from GMSPO for 1988 Skyhawks may have a "muff" type insulator wrapped around it. The "muff" insulator stitching on replacement lines must be rotated away from the radiator as shown in the illustration below. A possible leak could be caused by the "muff" stitching rubbing through the radiator if this is not done.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
