Working with a company now. I will update as I have more information.

sub....I already have the Howe aftermarket pump and PS cooler, for a SCREW

Interested - I already have the Howe aftermarket pump and PS cooler, but the rack itself is still stock and prone to failure.

I'm in! SCAB or SCREW ratio?

I saw that Detroit Axle came out with an electric version for a replacement on the F-150 including the GEN1 raptor. Not sure if its a viable option but does someone know if anyone has tried it or not?

Question? What would it take to convert the stock PS system over to the Detroit axle electric rack. It’s electric so it obviously needs a power supply,is there a plug n play solution? Would the ps pump, fluid reservoir , lines etc need to be removed, and would a pulley need to fabricated in place of the ps pump ? Can the DA electric rack be retro fitted from another ford model truck? Parts etc? Apologies to m3 for thread jacking with this question but if your tech and mechanically awesome this might be another route you’d might think about trying. Any theories guys

Would bet a lot of money their listing is incorrect. Every F150 from those years had an electric rack standard, except for any with the 6.2L.

I would be willing to get in a GB. It would be even greater if the steering rack would be designed to run with the Howe PS system
