Detailed Description

SKP SKTOC049 is a power steering cooler designed for vehicles that route steering fluid through an external cooling tube before returning it to the system. The aluminum core helps dissipate heat from the fluid, which is important when the steering system is under load or operating in higher-temperature conditions. This part number SKTOC049 is listed for a wide range of GM SUVs and related models, including the Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, and Buick Rainier, along with the Saab 9-7x and Isuzu Ascender.

This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 918-300 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a leaking or damaged power steering cooler.
• Restoring fluid cooling performance in the steering circuit.
• Addressing steering fluid overheating concerns.
• Correcting corrosion or physical damage to the original cooler.
• Maintaining proper hose connection sizing in the steering system.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify hose diameter and mounting layout against the original cooler before installation. Confirm fitment by year, make, and model, since SKTOC049 is used across several GM platforms with different body styles. Inspect the steering hoses and fluid condition at the same time to avoid repeat service.

Quality Assurance

SKP replacement parts are cataloged for direct application matching, and SKTOC049 is listed with OE-style interchange references for the same use case.
