Out of curiosity, what group did you retire from at Ford? I just started in product development back in September

I was an industrial electrician @ the steering components plant in Indianapolis. They shut the doors in 2011 I believe. I got out as soon as I could. When I turned 55, they decided it was my time. I left in 11/06. We could see the writing on the wall as far back as 2000 when Ford decided not to put any $ into R&D for electric assist steering.
Product development, does that mean you're marketing, r&d, or engineering?

I'm in engineering. I'm the D&R for super duty front and rear axles.

We have the best engineers! One reason F series has been #1 for 40+

So does that mean that any R&D for the electric assisted steering system in OUR cars was done exclusively by Ford Of Europe/England?
