Bad news bears!! They're probably making the 2010 engines now aren't they? Or at least they should be starting very soon I'd think.
Isn't there a member here who works there and seen all the 4.5 blocks stockpiled? Seem like he has a white truck?
Seen posted on another site where Chrysler Filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy today as well. And will be restructuring with Fiat. And we thought we got hasseled about "jap" engines in our trucks.
In the article it said the gov't OWNED like 8% of Chrysler via the bailouts already provided and that once the current CEO steps down (he siad he's doing so after the bankruptcy is over) the UAW would be like 53%.

this is what it will come down to for a while, all these plants just can't afford everything. what sucks is I think its all no pay too very happy my job keeps me employed and payed.

probably the other half of the reason for shutting down is to re-tool for the 2010 duramax...

They shouldnt be payed if their not working (I understand sick, vacation, etc). If our shop runs out of work guess what everyone's going home without pay till i picks up!
This is what they need to do across the board, Chevy Dodge and Ford. They flooded the market, really bad. Drove by the Auto mall yesterday and you see like 300 friggin Malibu's or 150 Chargers. They aren't going to sell all those damn cars.

I hope been is right. I haven't seen the blocks, but I KNOW they exhist because I have seen the pictures. Yes there are tons of 4.5 liter blocks.
Dude, come on you can't post something like that without putting up more info:angel:
On new years I was riding and bumped into 2 guys that worked for DMAX. Shot the shit with them for a bit then asked them what it would take to get on there . They told me to look elsewhere because they had just laid off 2nd and 3rd shifts
I was surprised though, for working there they didn't seem to know, or care to share, very much about the duramax engines, present or future ones.

Better order any motor parts that you need now,Once plants idle parts will be hard to find head gaskets and any seals.
Nope! a few(3) 2010 LML engines are circulating now, i know there are difference's though!
