GM is adding a sixth workday at its Michigan heavy-duty truck operations to boost output of Silverado and Sierra pickups, citing strong demand that outweighs fuel price pressures. The move expands near-term production capacity for high-margin trucks and should support revenue for GM's truck portfolio, likely having a modest positive effect on the company's stock and OEM suppliers.
