Our Sunseeker with E450 throws off a ton of heat from the engine cover on the passenger side. Any comments or ideas? Lee

Our 2003 E-450 chassis was a foot-cooker on the passenger side. The exhaust manifold was only 1-1/4" away from the steel floorboard - I can't believe the carpet didn't melt. We added a heat shield on the manifold and additional insulation on the floor - each helped a bit; it was finally when I built a plywood platform (that allowed air circulation under it) to rest my feet on, that it was tolerable. This is something we'll be watching carefully as we search for a new "C".
