Overheating Help for 4x4's

Heard a neat tip the other day from a guy staying at Cerro Gordo. It helps his aging early '80s 4x4 truck from overheating while pulling steep grades.

He disconnected the hose from the windshield washer pump, put the sprayers on it, and mounted it to the grill aimed at his radiator. He runs straight water in the washer bottle, of course.

Now when he overheats, he cools his radiator instead of pseudo-washing the bugs off the screen (they never seem to come off, do they?)
