Update. Been driving the truck for the last year and a half and it has been trouble free. I use it when parking, turning street corners, and clover leafs. I have not added power steering fluid; simply turning it on with some regularity keeps it from overflowing.
I would not recommend fancy electronics to automate turning it on or off. The 'power assist' turns on and off instantly, and it comes down to safety: I need to know I am turning it on or off as the effort required to steer is suddenly and drastically different.
My best tank of gas was 24 mpg's... on a 4x4 extended cab!
