I am requesting your input on 2 things and will happily relay the info to him: 1) Is this advisable to do? Are there any downsides to this approach? 2) Do you know of any sources to obtain a side air scoop of this type? Appreciating y'all in advance.
You have gotten some good answers. Let me pile on.:D
First, under what conditions is he getting the overheat? Is it overheating or is this a fix for "just incase"? I would not add a scoop.
I would do all the cheacks related above, is the fan operating properly? Has he cleaned the radiator and CAC at least annually? Is it overheating on hills?
Let me know and we can go from there.
