General Motors has determined that some early production Chevrolet C-20 and C,K30 light duty trucks equipped with RPO LL4 (6.2 liter diesel engines) and RPO HC4 (4.56 ratio heavy duty rear axles) were assembled with the engine oil coolers omitted. The engine oil cooler is standard equipment on light trucks with this engine-axle combination. Absence of the engine oil cooler could decrease useful engine life.
Involved are some 1982 Chevrolet C20 and C,K30 Trucks equipped with RPO LL4 (6.2L Diesel Engine) and RPO HC4 (4.56 ratio Heavy Duty Rear Axle) within the following vehicle parameters:
Plant From Through ---------- -------- -------- Janesville CJ101683 CJ128425
Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number Computer Listings. Computer listings contain the complete Vehicle Identification Number, Owner Name and Address Data, and are furnished to the involved Dealers with the campaign bulletin. Owner name and address data furnished will enable dealers to follow-up with owners involved in this campaign.
These listings may contain owner names and addresses obtained from State Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any other purpose is a violation of law in several states. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this listing for the follow-up necessary to complete this campaign.
Any dealer not receiving a computer listing with the campaign bulletin was not shipped any involved vehicles.
Owners will be notified of this campaign on their vehicles by Chevrolet Motor Division (see copy of Owner Letter included GSDI with this bulletin).
This recall campaign is to be performed at no charge to owners on all affected vehicles regardless of time, mileage, or ownership. Dealers are to inspect and correct all affected vehicles in new and used vehicle stock prior to their sale.
Whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign is taken into your new or used vehicle inventory, or it is in your dealership for service in the future, you should take the steps necessary to be sure the campaign correction has been made.

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.
