SURGE GAS ENGINES THERMOSTATIC AIR CLEANER

WHEN INVESTIGATING SURGE COMMENTS, CHECK OPERATION OF THE THERMOSTATIC AIR CLEANER (TAC) PAGE 6E-75 OF THE 1981 CHASSIS SERVICE MANUAL. IF THE TAC IS STUCK IN THE "HOT" MODE IT CAN CAUSE A SURGE CONDITION.

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.
