    Sorry to keep second guessing you andy, but i've also read that if you get the right orbital you can still steer even if your engine goes dead. I'm not sure how well it works because i've only "read" this... no personal experience

    So someone try it out and let us know how it works!

    this is true, you can steer just fine with the engine not running - just like loosing the "power" from power steering. We have done it too many times in the comp rig...

    Yes, you can steer with the engine not running, because the orbital itself will pump fluid through the system. If you read my post you'll see I'm talking about what happens when you don't have any, or enough fluid. It's hard to pump fluid when there's none there.

    I talked to Sean Stapley at Performance Off-Road Systems today and the system I am going to go with is gonna run around $1300... which is a little less than I was expecting. I'll order it as soon as my student loans come in.
