I setup a spray system on one of my trucks. When going up hill or in stop and go traffic I could turn on the sprayer and it would help keep everything cooler. I was having a problem with overheating. The sprayer helped.
However, I discovered the true cause of my overheating was a bad fan clutch. Doing the normal testing it seemed OK. I decided to replace it at the sametime I was replacing the fan belts. Never had a cooling problem after that.
An alternative to the spray setup and works really well is an additive you put into the radiator from Royal Purple. It's called "Wetter Water". I've used it in a couple of different tow vehicles, the temps on hill climbs are 10 to 20 degrees cooler with the wetter water.
