[QUOTE="hypocrisy, post: 733222, member: 9500"] Well we're kind of off on a tangent but I have been told that the power steering was deleted from the old gas P-1000 cars by every mechanic and several automotive managers since the early 90's. It was always said that it was at a cost of $500 per car, and kind of made sense as the chevy crate motors I've seen in the shop come complete with all accessories. Kind of a moot point now since power steering is mandated in all new package cars, from 1994 on up if I recall correctly. I remember one Center manager commenting on the lack of power steering with "Do you know how long UPS has operated without needing power steering" to which I replied "I guess we didn't need to add power brakes then did we?". He's now an on-car supervisor. It's just one of those really dumb things about this company that keep us from completely dominating the industry like we used to do and from being the best company in the U.S. to work for. [/QUOTE]
