Subject:May, 2000 Labor Time Guide Updates

Models:1996-2001 Passenger Cars and Trucks



This bulletin addresses changes to the published General Motors Labor Time Guides.

All changes will appear in the next printing of the Labor Time Guide.

Important: Please retain any changes made to the A, B, D and L Car Labor Time Guides as these vehicles have been discontinued since 1997 and the Labor Time Guides will not be republished.
