no 20,000 have already been cut that is the sad part, that's a number to high to even fathom for most it sucks because I'm a big fan of the Duramax and it seems like the only company doing well is ford and they make the worst diesel

Yeah, GM is slated to close over 45% of all of their dealerships. They just closed the Canadian truck plant yesterday, Chrysler will close 25% of their dealerships.

bobcat67 I agree with you too on that. I don't think trucks will fall off the face of the earth though. I could be wrong, but we'll see.
