If concerns about chuggle between speeds of 45-60 KPH are received and thorough diagnosis of the engine control system does not resolve the concern, you may need to install a revised Mem-Cal.

The other condition of inaccurate fuel economy, on vehicles equipped with the Driver Information System (DIS) option may also be corrected by the installation of one of these Mem-Cals.

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.
