FUEL PUMP RAPPING NOISE REPLACEMENT PUMP INFORMATION

SOME 1982 CAMAROS WITH LG4 ENGINES MAY EXPERIENCE A RAPPING TYPE NOISE EMANATING FROM THE FUEL PUMP. THIS TYPE OF NOISE OCCURS ONLY IN AMBIENTS BELOW 70F. A NEW FUEL PUMP INCORPORATING A THERMAL SWITCH WHICH PREVENTS FUEL RETURN DURING COLD AMBIENTS CORRECTS THIS CONDITION. THE FUEL PUMP IS AVAILABLE FROM WDDGM AS SERVICE KIT P/N 6471252. USE APPLICABLE LABOR OPERATION.

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.
