Not sure why they think Chrsler is hurting them except Dana wants someone to pay for their updates instead of doing it themselves. Dana is hurting, they have laid off nearly 2500 people, 500 in the Toledo area alone, they are finally trying to stay afloat by doing some huge changes instead of sitting on the behinds.
Sales were up last quarter though so that is good.
They also need to think 2010 instead of 1960 and sell off some of their prized properties etc around town and keep the company going. They I think have had the attitude that we are Dana and everyone has to buy from us, so we are the best there is. Everyone should help us instead of us helping ourselves,

Odd since most of Chryslers vehicles do not use Dana axles,only the JK and the front diffs in the KK the rest are AAM axles for the last few years or Chrysler axles used.

Does the JK, even the Rubi, use AAM's? I thought they were still Dana's...
