That's a new one on me, too ... I don't recall anyone ever reporting noticeable heat in a 2005+ cab. :thinking:... I've never noticed or heard of excessive heat in the cabs before.
I agree ... The first thing that came to mind was some hole opening up (e.g., loss of a gasket or packing) in the firewall.Very strange problem indeed. Might be an opening of some sort in the firewall :shrug:
I don't have the a/c or heater on. Never turned on the heater since I bought the truck. Is the insulation visible on the engine side of the firewall or the inside of the cab?do you have the ac on?
there is bound to be some heat transfer, but it shouldnt be very noticable. there should be about a 1/2 inch of insulation on the firewall.
i saw it from the outside (engine bay side), to the left of the master cylinder.Which one fell off? Was it inside or outside and approximate location?
The area between (if you touch the plastic piece) the cigarette lighter and electrical outlet is hot. Along the side of the console next to 6-speed shifter on the passenger side is also hot. Does everyone have hot spots here? This is after the engine has been going for more than fifteen minutes.Lot of engine heat gets into the cab. I noticed on cooler days in Hawaii that engine heat seemed to be coming in from under the dash. During warm days, I thought it was just part of the warm weather. Is engine heat in the cab normal?
