    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.
