I ran an electric cooling pump on my 5L Camaro ,suburban with a 454 and my 6.5L diesel.
I know pretty much all there is to know when it comes to electric cooling pump conversations.

As far as I could tell the electric pump gave no measurable fuel economy important. All it does is use more power and make an alternator delete more difficult.
The main benifit they give is being able to circulate coolant with the engine off.

When I said I know know 3 people who have done electric power steering I was taking about members here.

Cheap power inverters tend to destroy induction motors, a pure sine wave inverter should be used. There are no cheap pure sine wave inverters.
