Subscriptions What You’ll Find 
in the Index: 
You  can subscribe  to  all GM Product  Service 
Publications  (PSP’s).  This 
will include  bulletins  for all 
cars  sold by GM and  will  not be limited 
to PSP’s 
applicable 
to any  particular  model.  When you  buy  a 
subscription,  you  will receive the PSP’s  in periodic 
mailings,  shortly  after  they come  out. 
A subscription 
entitles  you to all PSP’s published  by GM  during  the 
model  year. You can purchase  a subscription  and get 
pricing  information  by calling  Helm at 
1-800-782-4356. 
Individual PSP’s 
If you don’t want  to buy  all the PSP’s issued  by GM  for 
all  models 
in the model  year,  you can buy  individual 
PSP’s,  such  as  those which  may pertain to  a particular 
model. 
To do this,  you  will  first need  to see  our index  of 
PSP’s. It provides  a  variety of information.  Here’s what 
you’ll find  in the  index and how  you can get one: 
A list of all PSP’s published  by GM in a model year 
( 1990  or later).  PSP’s covering  all models  of GM 
cars  are  listed 
in the same  index. 
Ordering  information so you can buy the  specific 
PSP’s  you  may want. 
Price information  for the PSP’s  you  may want  to 
buy. 
How You  Can  Get  an Index: 
Indexes are published periodically. Most  of the PSP’s 
which could potentially  apply  to the most recent  GM 
models 
will be listed in the most recent publication  for 
that  model  year. This means  you  may  want to wait  until 
the end  of the model year before ordering  an  index, if 
you  are interested  in buying  PSP’s pertaining 
to a 
current model year  car  or truck. 
Some  PSP’s pertaining  to  a particular model  year 
vehicle may  be published 
in later years,  and these  would 
be  listed  in the  later year’s index. When  you order  an 
index for  a model  year that 
is not over yet, we’ll send 
you  the most recently published  issue. Check the 
ordering  form for indexes for  earlier model years.

subscription,  just call toll-free  and

“do-it-yourselfer.”  Technicians have  the equipment, 
tools, safety instructions, and know-how 
to do  a job 
quickly and  safely.
