Service Publications
Information on how to obtain Product Service Publications (PSP’\
s) and
Indexes as described below is applicable only in the fifty
U.S. states (and
the District of Columbia) and only for cars and light trucks
with GVWR less
than
10,000 pounds (4 536 kg).
In Canada, information pertaining to Product Service Bulletins and Indexes
can be obtained by writing to:
General Motors of Canada Limited
Service Publications Department
1908 Colonel Sam Dr.
Oshawa, Ontario L

Chevrolet regularly sends its dealers useful service bulletins about
Chevrolet products. Chevrolet monitors product performance
in the field.
We then prepare bulletins for servicing our products better.
Now, you can
get these bulletins too.
8-7 ProCarManuals.com
Page 371 of 385
Bulletins cover various subjects. Some pertain to the proper use and care of
your vehicle. Some describe costly repairs. Others describe inexpensive
repairs which, if done on time with the latest parts, may avoid future costly
repairs. Some bulletins tell
a technician how to repair a new or unexpected
condition. Others describe
a quicker way to fix your vehicle. They can help
a technician service your vehicle better.
Most bulletins apply to conditions affecting
a small number of cars or
trucks. Your Chevrolet dealer or a qualified technician may have to
determine if
a specific bulletin applies to your vehicle.
You can subscribe to all Chevrolet’s bulletins by calling Helm, Inc. at
1-800-7824356. This way
you’ll get them as they become available.
Individual PSP’s
If you don’t want to buy all the PSP’s issued by Chevrolet for all car or
truck models
in the model year, you can buy individual PSP’s, such as those
which may pertain to
a particular model. To do this, you will first need to
see our index of PSP’s. It provides a variety of information. Here’s what
you’ll find
in the index and how you can get one:
What You’ll Find in the Index:
A list of PSP’s published by Chevrolet in a model year (1990 or later).
PSP’s covering all models
of Chevrolet cars or light trucks (less than
10,000 pounds
(4 536 kg) GVWR) are listed in the same index.
0 Ordering information so you can buy the specific PSP’s you may want.
0 Price information for the PSP’s you may want to buy.
How You Can Get an Index:
Indexes are published periodically. Most of the PSP’s which could
potentially apply to the most recent Chevrolet models will be listed in the
most recent publication for that model year. This means you may want to
wait
until the end of the model year before ordering an index, if you are
interested
in buying PSP’s pertaining to a current model year car or truck.
Some PSP’s pertaining
to a particular model year vehicle may be published
in later years, and these would be listed in the later year’s index. When you
order an index for a model year that is not over yet, we’ll send you the most
recently published issue. Check the ordering form for indexes for earlier
model years.
Lut out the ordering form, fill it out, and mail it in. We will then see to it
that an index
is mailed to you. There is no charge for indexes for the
1989-1994 model years.
