how about check my STS build and see what i did ...i trashed the factory cooler and went to advance and got a cooler and some lines...works like a charm and I have seen it as hot as 130 F but thats it

i would say that there would be a difference, but if you are looking at putting one on your car, go custom with it. what i bought cost me all of $50~70 including lines and fittings/clamps

My 99 had it on there. I want to say that it was only on SS's, but You can have anything added as optional when being built. 98's may.....

they came standard starting on 1998 on ss & ws6, options on others. want to install one you will need two band clamps, cooler and lines running to/from steering assy. cut about 2/3 off of hose length compared to cooler, slide both ends of hose, clamp, connect line to steering assy. sounds easy huh? well it is. sorry I dont have pics since I'm out in the dessert but, I sure somebody can. hope this helps.
