Autoweek is reporting that General Motors has announced they have told their dealers of suspended production of some of their 2008 full size trucks and SUVs, due to the American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings strike. The vehicles effected are the GMC Yukon, GMC Denali, GMC Sierra heavy duty regular and extended cab configurations, GMC commercial heavy duty, Chevrolet Tahoe, and Chevrolet light duty pickup trucks. GMC spokesman, Randy Fox, said "Essentially, we're not accepting any more orders", referring to the lack of available parts because of the continued strike. General Motors is saying they have a 102 day supply of 3500 heavy duty trucks and a 178 day supply of 2500 heavy duty trucks. "The truck business is so slow in general right now it's hard to measure it".
