parts have to be of top quality and work well together if
the vehicle is to have really good braking. Your vehicle
was designed and tested with top

one that has the replacement number shown on the
original battery’s label. We recommend an ACDelco
battery. See “Engine Compartment Overview” in the
Index for battery location.

WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

removing the maxi fuses in the power distribution fuse
block, the following steps must be performed to
calibrate the electronic throttle control. If this is not
done, the engine will not run properly.
