Not the case lol. Some came with ans some came with out. Not sure if it was for towing/hd option.

I always assumed the PS cooler came on all of these trucks? Is that not the case?

I don't own anything older than a 99 though. My brother has a 90 C1500 and I think he said his doesn't have the PS cooler.

There was a thread a while back, and I don't know that anyone came up with a reason as to why some trucks didn't get it from the factory? Maybe I'm making that up?

My 97 Express van and my 99 Tahoe were both born without coolers. Both have factory coolers on them now.

That might be right. I have the window sticker from my '99 and it is indeed listed as have the HD towing package complete with PS cooler (frame rail version).

Yeah we did discuss that. My supposition was, since my 88 C1500 was a Californicate truck it came with a PS cooler, IDK?

My 88 C1500 had the towing package. My 98 appears to have come with all but the F44 package, it had the hitch, oil cooler, etc but no PS cooler. I think GM got stingy with that stuff in the later years.

My 98 had one in the frame. When I blew a hydro boost line, I abandoned it and replaced all lines. Replacement lines had a hose with a clamp, so I got an off the shelf cooler and mounted it to the radiator and drilled a couple holes for the lines through the fan shroud. Figured that getting fan air flow would be better at actually cooling an in the frame rail. Used double hose clamps and haven't had a leak yet.
