# Labor Time Guide Updates

Subject: | Labor Time Guide Updates

Models: | 1994-2000 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. Changes to the P/H Truck Chassis should also be retained.
