Subject: | Noise From A.I.R. Valves on Start-up (Replace A.I.R. Valves) |
Models: | 1996-99 C/K Models and G Vans with A.I. R. Valves and 7.4L Engine (VIN J -- RPO L29) |
Some owners may comment on a honking or whining noise that lasts for a few seconds after start-up.
The air valve goes into resonance due to the air flow through it. This does not affect the ability of the vehicle to meet emissions requirements.
Install two new A.I.R. valves.
The new valve part number is 12562568. Parts are currently available from GMSPO.
