TO:
ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS
Customer comments may be received on 1987 and 1988 R/V models built prior to VIN breakpoint (JF165082) equipped with 5.7L or 7.4L engine, of
low hanging or throaty sounding (rumbling on acceleration) mufflers. Mufflers designed for usage on TBI equipped engines are of a high flow/low
restriction design for increased engine performance and are somewhat louder than mufflers used in previous years. If either of these conditions are
experienced, they can be repaired by installing a revised muffler and tailpipe assembly.
