Oldsmobile Bravada Parts

The Oldsmobile Bravada is a mid-size, four-door SUV produced by General Motor's Oldsmobile division. It was Oldsmobile's first light truck model post-World War II and came in three generations from 1991 to 2004. The first two generations were based on the GMT330 platform, while the third used the GMT360 platform, the latter being the only model available in the Canadian market. The Bravada was an upgraded version of its variants, featuring standard options such as anti-lock brakes, remote keyless entry, and body-colored bumpers and exterior trim. Its distinctive SmartTrak all-wheel-drive system had a Borg Warner 4472 transfer case at its core, providing 65% rear and 35% front torque, thus enhancing safety in case of slippage. The Bravada was powered by a 4.3L W-code engine, which in 1992, was boosted to deliver 200 horsepower. The SUV was recognizable for its unique front clip, ribbed side cladding, Oldsmobile emblem on the taillights, and specific wheel options. It received aesthetic updates in 1996 and 1997, including rounder lines, a driver's airbag, daytime running lamps, and interior refinements like standard leather seating and a woodgrain trim. The model later included 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes for added safety. The final 500 Bravada cars, aptly named "Final 500," were specially crafted with unique chrome alloy wheels, custom seat embroidering, dark cherry metallic paint, and exclusive exterior badging, each bearing a unique production number from 1 to 500. This marked the end of the Bravada's production in 2004.

Oldsmobile Bravada, like any vehicle, is susceptible to wear and tear over time. The most common issues include transmission failure, where the indicator might not match the gear, there could be difficulty shifting gears, or the engine RPM could be higher than normal. Such issues might stem from a problematic shift cable, oil pressure switch, or flywheel. Engine and suspension issues are also common. Engine problems could result in slower acceleration, overheating, squealing noise from behind the dashboard, and an illuminated Check Engine Light, potentially due to a broken radiator, speedometer, body control module or throttle cable. Suspension failure often originates from faulty front cross-member and sway bar bushing. Apart from these issues, electrical components like the instrument cluster, turn light switch, oxygen sensor, distributor cap, and ambient temperature sensor are also prone to failures. Regularly used parts like the drive belt also require constant monitoring. To ensure good visibility while driving, keep the wiper switch and wiper motor in optimal condition as part of the windshield wiper system.
