GM suspends big-truck orders because of American Axle strike - AutoWeek Magazine "General Motors has told its dealers it has suspended production of some 2008 full-sized trucks and SUVs because of the American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings strike. The vehicles: -- GMC Yukon -- GMC Denali -- GMC Sierra heavy-duty regular cab -- GMC Sierra heavy-duty extended cab -- GMC commercial heavy-duty -- Chevrolet Tahoes and same variants for Chevrolet full-sized trucks. "Essentially, we're not accepting any more orders," says Randy Fox, GMC spokesman. ... GM says it has a 102-day supply of GMC and Chevrolet 3500 heavy-duty trucks. For heavy-duty 2500 trucks, GM said the figure is 178 days."
Oh boy, what a hell of a time for AAMH to go on strike. Record high fuel prices, steep drop in sales of GM trucks, etc.
they might be doing GM a favor, but they are killing themselves. my brother-in-law worked there. he saw the writing on the wall and found a new job last week.
