Subject:Adm Msg -- New Labor Time Guide Available Effective February 1, 2003

Models:2003 and Prior Passenger Cars and Trucks

Attention: Service Manager and Warranty Administrator


Effective February 1, 2003, GM Service and Parts Operations will begin using the new Labor Time Guide as a replacement for the current Adobe Acrobat version. The new LTG will function like the Service Information (SI) software application and will include keyword search capability. Content will include current year and five (5) years back.

Mid January, a two (2) CD set will be shipped to all dealerships, attention Service Manager and Warranty Administrator. The new LTG will need to be loaded to a PC with the following minimum specifications:

    • Commercial Grade PC
    • Windows 98 (Second Edition)
    • Pentium II 233 MHZ
    • 1 GB drive space available
    • 64 MB Memory
    • Internet Explorer 5.5 (SP2) or Netscape Navigator 4.5

Important: The new LTG is not intended to play on a PC where Service Information (SI) is already loaded. The new LTG application is for warranty administration.

A different version of the new LTG will be integrated into SI at a later date. A reminder to prepare for the new LTG will be sent to all dealers in early January.
