General Motors Truck Production at the Fort Wayne Assembly Plant 

My dad worked here in 1987-88. Really enjoyed the people and the fairly new plant at the time. Got in at Chrysler Kokomo in 1988. A lot shorter drive for him!

And here is where all the recall magic happens!

My 1990 Silverado was built there . Best truck I ever had . Had it 20 years .

Man those robots took a lot of jobs.

I have a 2013 Silverado extended cab with a Dura Max made at Ft. Wayne. Other than a recall for the heater assembly in the DEF tank which GM fixed under warranty, I have had zero issues with my pick up. I realize it is hardly broken in at 120,000 miles but its been great so far. I"m sure it will be humming along at 250K. Always wanted to thank the folks who made my truck. If one of the folks who work at Ft. Wayne reads this, Thanks. Go GM. Go UAW. Go America.

Majority of the work is in Mexico now

I felt like i was watching them build my 2019 crew cab trailboss very cool

En este pais estamos trabajando duro para.para poner una planta de ensanblajes de behiculos.estamos aciendo los contactos.ya llevamos a un 30%ok

Soon to made in Mexico , we used to make pickups here in Oshawa Ontario but not anymore. GM has completely lost it’s way. It’s not the workers in North America.

Lo más triste trabajar Ai y no tener una

The Robots look more complex than the truck ,WHO BUILDS THOES THIBGS ?

I can’t stand the look of the new Chevy 1/2 ton or 3/4. GMC is my next truck, they kept the more of the old tradition

Here is the Break down, Entire wiring harness from mexico , brake rotors, calipers, ABS Module , Fluid lines, plastic interiors, all seats and upholstery comes from China

Looking at the powertrain sitting in the frame my first thought as a former GM dealership mechanic was that the transmission most likely has already been out for repair or replacement by now.

The problem with GM, Ford, etc is that they buy so many parts from other companies. When you have several parts that are crap then you have a big pile of crap.

I hear tell that the UAW makes GM pay high dollar union wages to senior workers assigned to pushing a dust mop.

اللهم صل وسلم وبارك على عبدك ورسولك محمدﷺ

My 23 1500 came from there.

GM Gravely Mistaken

Too all the brothers and sisters on the line keep up the good work👍screw all the ignorant haters out there

Man oh man. I installed some of the first Ethernet Back Bone cable, in this plant while it was under construction. I worked for Digital Equipment Corporation, as an installer. My Sliverado comes from the same plant. If you have never been in an assembly plant, and see how it works you have missed a sight to be sure. I pass this plant, south west of Fort Wayne, on my way to INDY, every Labor Day weekend, on the way to the U.S. Nationals. I think about that every time. WOW!

GM products...not what they used to be by a long shot....junk :(

Wanna know why sales are down? b/c people can't afford to buy these monstrosity trucks anyone. bring back an affordable base model Colorado standard cab. that's what we want

6:49 the robot applied weather caulking is amazing

I bought my 2015 Chevrolet Silverado BRAND NEW back in February 2015. What a GREAT 👍 TRUCK! Thank You America and to the Fort Wayne Assembly Plant!!!! NEVER had one Problem with it!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💥💥💥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

ive had my 2011 f-150 since..2013 great truck!!the full sized truc is an american icon....im just amazed at all of the tundra-titan -ryders out there!!!they are a bunch of selfish spinless cowards/yep throwing the amer. companies under the bus n running 2 the asians!!!get a bacbone!!

After watching this video, I'm gonna go outside and work on my 1986 Chevrolet Silverado 4x4 Longbed 👍👌🇺🇸🌎..

My last 2 trucks I've had came out of Ft. Payne. Both still going strong with eavh having over 330,000 miles.

Thank you for real sounds.

It pains me that the final assembly point for my Silverado is Mexico. Its been a great truck but I wish it was made 100% in the states.

*Landfill Free Site* only due to the fact that the garbage produced leaves as Generic Motors trucks...

I weld every exhaust on these trucks down the road from this GM plant in FW at Faurecia so crazy to think I’ve probably welded every exhaust on that truck 🤯 proud to work automotive

My hometown Fort Wayne, Indiana! I used to drive past this plant.

I love that these guys always seem to be looking somewhere else when assembling their part, like meh whatever it's just the engine 🤷‍♂️😂

I have worked for a GM stamping and assemblies supplier for over a decade. It was awesome to watch the video and be able to see where some of our parts go on the vehicle.

Been in a few ford plants delivering parts. I would always be mesmerized watching what i could see. Would love to do a full plant tour.

And that is how you build a $50,000 turd.

Noticed some nice chevy. Trucks in the in last year with some nice wheels. G.M.C. Had them for years. Too bad GMC makes a whole lot better looking truck.

I'm surprised at just how quiet it is moving all that around

There's a heck of lot more to it than what the video shows. I'd love to see the full version.

I have been inside my share of Plants. Except for maybe the paint process here, this plant is filthy.

Great Video !! Wow ... I work for a company making parts for GM , Ford , Fiat , BMW Nice to see how they put parts together !! Tks for Sharing

Gm/ Ford aside, how the hell do they think that the blue collar families of the best country in the world afford these trucks? Shit I don’t know about y’all but when you have a nice mortgage payment, raising a family, and everything else in between, how the hell can you afford a 65,000 dollar truck?! I’ve owned all three of the American trucks, Ford, Gm, and Dodge. One is just as good as the next, but cmon man not all of us make 200k a year and these trucks aren’t worth half of what their window stickers say.

If this video gave you a rush, then you, too, are a genuine gear head.

Good workers over priced trucks and crappy parts that don't last..

Both my GMC Sierra's were assembled their. Both great trucks.

My Dad did this kind of work all his life back when the working conditions were more horrible for all factory workers. He is 79 years old now. it always bothered me how hard he worked and i know he suffered all those years just to support his family. To me ,Life is way to short to work like a Slave. There is easier ways to make money.

I've owned a 1995 GMC Sierra 1500 V8 and I currently own a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 1500 V8 both were assembled at the Fort Wayne Indiana assembly plant. I have designs on purchasing a new 2023 Silverado V8 and I am willing to travel to Indiana to get it. GM can keep that 4 cylinder nonsense. No offense to the hard working folks in the Silao Mexico assembly plant, but go Hoosiers!

Before this, I thought the Subway sandwich build video was amazing.

All I see is poorly made low quality pickup trucks on a assembly line. I would never buy a GM truck or any other kind of vehicle that they make. General Motors has a bad reputation when it comes to collective bargaining agreement with the United Auto Workers Union. GM isn't labour friendly.

I have a 1979 Chevy truck and puts this new truck to shame it still runs this day I think the gas miles is about the same

Nothing but problems with my 2020/ 3500 poorly designed Fender Wells they left a big gap where they overlap inside the fender well for all the road dirt mud snow salt anything else you would not believe the inside of the engine compartment full of Road dirt mud you name it you cannot even have a cap on the box of this truck for the fact there is such of a big gap around the tailgate when they should think of a seal as well as where the body seems our they did not caught them properly it's filles full of Road dust dirt little stones I could have a sandbox inside my truck box you cannot keep things clean or Hall your groceries or luggage or just whatever in the back of it when you have a cap on it the door seals all four of them do not keep water or dirt as well out I do have electrical issues as well with the lights radio Exedra when I first bought it it needed a front alignment as well as there was a recall within the 30 day of owning it what is going on General Motors get your s*** together or get out of the game while you still can build something worth people's time that needs trucks for living instead of City Life people the mirrors on these new trucks are stupid they look stupid I like to tell the engineer he needs a different job the step on the outside of the box is a joke when you have a cap on it as well as another place for it to rust as well as it does nothing but click stones dirt Exedra going down the road. I like my money back General Motors I would rather go back to Old School they seem the last like my 83 square body still on the road today I only have two thumbs for you people and they're both are down. I would not recommend these newer trucks to no one too many problems too big of a price tag they do not want to hear your problems when they got lots of Their Own.

the software for the line must be beyond the word complex

Sooner or later ALL these plants will be 100% automated, enjoy your job while you still have one. Companies don't need to pay robots, no sick leave, and no wages.

This seriously reminds me of the terminator

What a contrast between the degree of automation in this vehicle assembly plant and the BMW assembly plant. Is it any wonder we keep falling further and further behind in manufacturing? We better step up our game and fast.

Best vehicle I ever had was a 2003 Yukon. I drove it 14 years, 186,000 miles mostly in the Florida Keys and sold it for good money! One repair only, the fuel pump!

No skills required and these clowns want a huge pay raise with less hours! No heavy lifting, no customers to deal with, no decisions to be made. Jigs are set up so all they do is crank a few levers and latches. What am I missing here?

I transferred to this plant in 1986 from Wisconsin plant and built the first truck. I retired from there in 2007,great place to work!

No uniforms? Workers will not proud of themselves working for this company. Hence they don’t do their best

Nice truck....I’ll stick to my paid off ‘94 7.3

That's incredible, Chevrolet went from building some of the finest looking trucks, from the great looking square body's of the late 80s and very early 90s to today's most HITIOUS UGLY looking trucks of all time. W.T.F happens there styling took an all time dive in the SHITER FOR SURE ILL BE EVEN MORE PROUD TO DRIVE MY OLD SQUARE BODY GMC MORE NOW THEN EVER BEFORE.

My 2016 3/4 ton 4 wheel drive 4 door 8’ box was manufactured in that plant. I also own a Chevy 2005 one ton 4 wheel drive 8’ ( bought it brand new, has 200,000 plus miles and still runs great ) and a Chevy 1985 1/2 ton 4 wheel drive long box. Chevrolet “ Like a rock “

When the paint booth looks more like a car wash. lol

GM Goofy Midgets

Almost identical to the Arlington, Texas SUV assembly plant that I have been at for 42 years now.

$70k+ for two rails and a bed in this depressionary Obiden economy...go for it moonbats!!!

I feel comfortable saying my truck or a piece of my truck is in this video

It's quite interesting in the variance of the workers' clothing. Long sleeve here, short sleeve over there, safety glasses here, none over there, shorts here but not over there...I'll stop. 0

Saw a total of 10 people. We need to tax companies robot usage.

Thanks for sharing. It was neat to see a truck being built. I know it is not the whole process. But it was still neat.

Look at the older era gmc was a higher model then Chevy not so now same thing different badge Over priced Tupperware party

Didn’t see the part were they install the rust on the frame. Is that dealer installed?

I love the robots. I know they take away from human workers, but they are so cool too watch.

They deserve every penny they get.

Garbage Motors products all suck, they're terrible vehicles, every last one of em.....

Chevy and GM have dropped the ball,they build trucks made of sheet metal about the thickness of a pop can,mostly plastic and rubber and ask $50,000 and upwards for them,and your lucky if you 200,000 miles out of one before it’s trash.they should hand the workers wrenches, and a socket set and make them take it apart after it’s built.straight up idiots designing these vehicles.

What happens when say you make a mistake on the line as everything is moving. That's what would worry me. But fascinating to watch .

This is probably fun for the first day and then this job is a nightmare

My old 1977 Silverado got the same gas mileage as my 2005 Silverado. WTF

Vote out every Republican from President to dog catcher

I appreciated nobody talking over the video, nice change.

No recal to my sierra 2017 elevation, run like new

The more the newer trucks come out the more you gonna need a rocket Scientist to work on them!

I miss building vehicles something about it coming in one side of the building as just a chassis and driving off the line a complete built vehicle at the other end is just satisfying

the rocker panels and cab corners are still gonna rust out

I really like to see the vehicle truck built in AMERICA. I own a ford 2007 f150 built in AMERICA and i am proud of that fact . It has never let me down. It has 47.000 miles on it. I am german by birth but moved to america when i was 3. My father bought his chevy truck and it was great!!!!!!

Too short. I want to see it ALL.

Then the check engine light comes on @ 1500 miles😒😒😒

Well it’s not like Illinois were jobs are beginning to scarce!

That explains a lot why those transmission bolts are so hard to get to and many other components.

If you look closely you can already see the rocker panels and cab corners starting to rust lol

My 2015 Silverado regular cab 6 cylinder all white came from here, a WT 2WD. I like a basic Chevy regular cab truck. I am amazed at the power the 6 cylinder has. The speedo goes to 140 mph. I tried to get there but they governed it out at around 105 or I bet it would have made it. LOL

My Silverado was built here too , best truck I ever owned 👏👏👏

I will never own another new GM product. I bought my first new chevy 4x4 truck in 1978 my 2nd in 1987 my 3rd in 2000 when it got wrecked my bought my 4th in 2004. drove it home 8.9 total on the truck and it never left my driveway again under its own power. after fighting with Gm dealer 6 days later when they did come to look at it the idiot locked the keys in it 3 times messed up my paint job and the 3rd time just busted the wide window out of it. I told the you just bought this truck back. after I got a lawyer involved I got my money back and been with ford ever since. but when you give 20k CASH for a truck and drive it 8.9 miles and they don't want to fix it. I think it was because I paid cash. and I called them with in 20 minutes of leaving the dealer. but I liked the video its cool how it all works.

How do you even work at a place like this

What a masterpiece video, it's good / neat to see how it all comes together at the GM Fort Wayne, Indiana truck assembly plant, & it's all in full effect/ action! wow... Those robots are phenomenal, working hand n hand on one Accord, I love the windshield robots though! matter of fact the whole assembly process is a thing of beauty to watch, add in the human touch, and it really makes it special, totally amazing! my 1995 Chevy Silverado reg. cab stepside which I still drive today in 2020, with 241,754 miles, was built at that plant, in May of '95, thanks for sharing the video.✌👍👍

A specialized overhead crane to lift a shock absorber. No wonder cars cost so much.

The assembly line is amazing. Those robots are something else. Gee a new Silverado is a must have vehicle. Cheers 🇦🇺
