DELCOTRON GROUND WIRE BROKEN NEW PLASTIC CLIP

Some T1000 models may exhibit alternator ground wire breakage due to bending fatique caused by th alternator vibrating in its rubber mounts.

This condition can be corrected by securing the ground wire in a plastic clip (part number 8900116) an installing the clip in the specified hole on the back of the alternator. See diagrams (shown below as well as on the reverse side).

This change started in production on January 11, 1983 with V.I.N. DY156832.

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.
