Has anyone installed a cooling system upgrade?

I have been researching a cooling system upgrade by paradox by design. Has anyone here used it? Would you recommend it? My M1031 only has 16 k miles and I want to make it last as long as I can.
Thanks for any feedback!

I have one of the kits on my M1008. Some people think it's not needed and others think it would be a good idea. My thought it's worth a try and would only be beneficial given the history of these engines with blocks and or heads failing.

I do not have any data as to it being better or worse than the stock system. The truck has been driven across the USA two and a half times without any issues.
The radiator is a aluminum and plastic unit, I have driven it thru some extreme heat conditions towing a M101A2 trailer and so far, no issues.

My personal testing on running 6.2 and 6.5 motors on an engine stand shows that they all get hot in the rear of the motor. I recently installed the PBD kit on a customers motor and can confirm that the kit does balance the temperatures better on the motor. I would say this kit is now a MUST HAVE UPGRADE for any 6.2 and 6.5 motor. Here are pictures.

Thank you for the input and the pictures. I am convinced I should do this now.
