Customer Assistance Information
Service Publications
Information on how to obtain Product Service Publications, Subsc\
riptions and
Indexes as described below is applicable only in the fifty
US. states (and the
District of Columbia) and only for light trucks with GVWR less than
10,000
pounds (4536 kg).
In Canada, information pertaining to Product Service Bulletins a\
nd Indexes
can be obtained by writing to: General Motors of Canada Limited, Service
Publications Department, 1908 Colonel Sam Dr., Oshawa, Ontario
L1 H 8P7.
GMC Truck regularly sends its dealers useful service bulletins \
about GMC
Truck products. GMC Truck monitors product performance in the f\
ield. We
then prepare bulletins for servicing our products better. Now, \
you can get
these bulletins too.
Bulletins cover various subjects. Some pertain to the proper us\
e and care
of
your vehicle. Some describe costly repairs. Others describe inex\
pensive 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 trucks. Your
GMC Truck dealer or a qualified technician may have
to determine if a
specific bulletin applies to your vehicle.
You can subscribe to all GMC Truck bulletins. This way you’ll g\
et them as
they come out. You can wait a while and get an index to the bulletins. You
can also get individual bulletins. However, you’ll need the \
index to identify
them.
Subscriptions
You can subscribe to all GMC Truck Product Service Publications (P\
SP’s).
This
will include bulletins for all light trucks (less than 10,000 Ibs. [4536 kg]
GVWR)

particular model. When you buy a subscription, you
