Did you keep it slow on the way home? I started to get on it and i think that is where my Pump with no fluid in it almost caught on fire.

Im pretty happy so far with switching to electric I am changing the belt today to delete the pump entirely.

I was driving calmly but not slower than usual. I’m guessing that the pump without fluid got real hot and that’s partially what caused my inlet fitting to get so messed up.

How much work was it to go to electric PS? What do u see as the benefit of doing it?
