RETAINERS FOR THROTTLE/CRUISE CABLE (INFORMATIONAL)

SUBJECT: RETAINERS FOR THROTTLE / CRUISE CABLE (INFORMATIONAL)

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1993 "U" VAN WITH 3800 ENGINE (VIN L, RPO L27)

The 1993 U-Van with the 3800 (Vin Code L) uses two designs for the throttle and cruise control cable retainer.

1st Design

Throttle body P/N 24501317 uses retainer P/N 14093869. This design was used only during the first month of production. This retainer can not be reused.

2nd Design

Throttle body P/N 24501316 uses retainer P/N 15567924.

IMPORTANT: The throttle body part numbers are production part numbers, and are for identification only. Use the GMSPO parts book for correct part numbers if replacement is required.

The illustration shows the location of the throttle body part number. It will be necessary to use a mirror to read the number.

It is important to use the correct part number retainer, because the pins on the throttle lever are different sizes, and the retainers are not interchangeable.

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.
