  • Bulletin BPI-01
    Bulletin BES 05-07 Subject: Brake Hydro-Boost Relief Valve Seal Fracture Vehicle Involved: General Motors, 2003-2004 model year Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado, Avalanche, Suburban, GMC Sierra, Yukon, Savana, Hummer H2, and 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe Condition: During brake application an engine compartment noise similar to the noise of a steering wheel turned to a full stop position. May also have an increase in steering and braking effort. If this occurs, it could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning. These Vehicles may have a relief valve bore within the brake Hydro -boost module that is not to specification. An out-of-specification bore could result in a fracture of the relief valve o-ring seal within the module. Repair Procedure: Identify that the vehicle pertains to the recall GM TSB #04004A. With the ignition off pump the brake pedal 10 times to relieve stored hydraulic pressure. Remove and reposition the master cylinder away from the hydraulic brake booster so that the machined surface of the booster may be inspected. Inspect the two o-rings on the original valve for signs of damage; inspect the bore of the hydraulic brake booster for any pieces or debris using a non-metallic tool or a lint free towel. Insert the new relief valve into the bore and tighten to 13ft.lbs. Clean up any fluid that leaked out of the hydraulic brake booster while removing the original valve. Position the master cylinder and combination valves on the mounting bolts on the hydraulic brake booster. With the master mounted flush to the booster install the nuts to 24 ft.

  • Gm Hummer H2
    GM HUMMER H2 1981 AM General develops the High Mobility Multi-wheeled Vehicle for the US Army. The initial contract calls for 70,000 ‘Hum-vees’. The vehicle becomes famous from service in the 1991 Gulf War and films like ‘Independence Day’ and ‘Black Hawk Down’. From 1992 AMG sells a civilian version called the HUMMER, which appeals to buyers who want the ultimate in ruggedness and off-road performance. 1999 Mike DiGiovanni, General Motors’ head of market research, approaches its North American Strategy Board with a proposal to buy the marketing rights for the HUMMER from AM General and create a scaled down version of the HUMMER called the H2. At this time, GM and the other big US auto makers are enjoying a boom in the sale of large Sport Utility Vehicles, many with a deliberately rugged image. Gasoline is cheap, and fuel consumption is not a concern. Impressed by his passion for the project, the board give DiGiovanni permission to set up a division to bring the H2 variant to market. He has a limited budget, no factory and no dealers. He builds a small team based not so much on their deep experience, but on their own passion for the HUMMER concept. He has three approaches: (1) search the ‘rock pile’, iconoclasts who challenged the status quo and had been knocked back; (2) only recruit those who really wanted to be on the team instead of people simply available for new projects; and (3) find the GM veteran networkers who can achieve results inside the bureaucracy, rather than focus entirely on younger innovators.
