Yes, longer flap (like touching the ground at static ride height) will keep more sled in tunnel and throw more snow up onto the cooler.

If you want to extend it, will need a picture to give you some ideas, since you might be able to add some cooling capacity etc by adding the rear cooler.

In my head
I'm with the Max and Mod. Didn't need more cooler with my 136 project, but a proper flap helped a lot.

So if i rivet another rear flap on just touching the ground at ride height that should solve the problem? I also installed some scratchers which i know help the hyfax's but do they help with cooloing? Overkill how much do you want for the cooler? i will be attending the sled show this weekend.

I know of a couple of people that have done what you are doing and they had no issues at all. With the scratchers and the extended flap you have already done you should just try it, you will see that it will be fine and no need to add the extra cooler and weight.

Scratchers will help big time too, I would run it like my mod said and see first before going to all the trouble of adding the cooler. Let us know.

last winter she would over heat when we are going down the trail, but soon as you hit any sort of powder it would cool off. i think thta answers your question?

Have you tried ice scratchers? i had a 97 mxz 670 mod sled with a 740 big bore kit and it never over heated.
