I guess I'll stick with the power rack and pinions. I don't use the stock pumps though. I prefer either the KRC pumps with remote reservoir or the chebbie Baretta pump converted to an external pump. The system has always worked good. It would seem an electric pump would be subject to electrical gremlins like everything else in the car that is electric...... A good tight hydraulic system and an efficient pump would probably require less power then running a big enough alternator and battery to keep an electrical powered pump working. IMO it's an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" issue....
