Expert Reply:

I wouldn't recommend bypassing the power steering cooler, since that could lead to more problems down the line. The Derale # D13213 you were looking at would work for you, but because the Oldsmobile Bravada is a little bit bigger vehicle, I recommend going with the Derale Series 7000 Tube-Fin Power Steering Cooler # D13211 . The measures 12-7/8" Long x 2-5/8" wide x 1-3/4" deep, which is 4" bigger than the D13213, so it will provide more cooling power. The Universal Plastic Insta-Mount kit # D13001 will help you mount this kit in your 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada.
