Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire General Motors ventilators

How long does it take to change over? And what plants do they have suitable? How many mexican parts needed?
I could understand switching to trucks or personnel carriers.

Would it be better to get maytag or such to switch?

Reminds me if the boss wanting some sheetmetal parts; I had a bridgeport and engine lathe but no brake or such, or any sheet, all there was bar stock

We'll need another 2 trillion stimulus to carry out the plan to save lives.

Tesla already delivering them several days ago...

Obama Motors is a company that should have been allowed to die.

Doesn't matter. The ventilator tranny will crap out right after the warranty expires.

[bleep] GM.

What's the big obsession with ventilators? By the time somebody with this virus gets seriously ill enough to need to go on a vent, they're just prolonging the inevitable.

Heh, ventilated trannys
My crankcase got a vent, same with my diff.
Tranny don't even have a dipstick these days..

I would not want to get one because it would have a recall on it.

Chevy runs deep

He bought them, didn't manufacture em...

It’s a mistake to look at just these behemoths. They should be looking to smaller nimble aggressive companies.

Ever heard of Delco Electronics?
They were part of GM and then got spun into Delphi.
World headquarters, Kokomo Indiana.

Delco had development and testing on site, wafer fabs (way back used to grown own crystals too).
Seriously a world class badass.

They used to do their own stamping and plastic molding too.
From module housings to packaged devices.

It aint a friggin' vehicle assembly plant.
They did FR4 stuff, radio lines, Tech 2000, side impact sensors, fuel vapor sensors, Harley and Marine EFI, GM transmission and brake controllers, ECMs and Harley Davidson controllers.
Much if it ceramic.

Was a booming place for a long while.

So please tell me how having a major electronics maker, that had proto and development labs plus assembly areas.........is a mistake.
If they can't build it, seriously, nobody can.

And now it's a powdered milk plant.

LOL, Delphi built some new lab space south of the road.
They separated from GM, literally.

There is a Proto Lab at a northern location (since Plant 9 abandoned).
The old main plants and Fabs are pretty much idle.
Think condensed to Plant 8.

Think maybe 500 people work for GM there now.
Used to be thousands.

I know of at least two multi million dollar cleanroom type electronic assembly areas mothballed.

Did any one ever say what the cure rate of being on a ventilator causes?

I smell a ratt.

Definition of insanity.......trying the same thing over and over, and expecting different results.

Just braying.

This all sounds good, but really won't employ that many people.
Maybe use people they have or call back some they let go on contract.
Once done they'll proly shut the medical group down.

This is where they should be building ventilators. You're absolutely right.

MAGA

The press has and the front lines have been calling for ventilators for weeks. Give it to them.
