Gm has been trying to sell their Medium Duty line for some time now. They just don't make money off it. I have worked at Flint Assy launching pick ups over the years. And the med duty Line is idle quite a bit of the time. The product line doesn't get much attention. I worked with someone who was supplier quality on that program and he told me their have been design issues that have been around for a long time and no one works on the problems, they just live with them.
