I have a really stupid question! I have a 1976 Eldorado class C. When I drive it the engine heat seems excessive in the cab. What I mean is the engine is right next to my right foot which is on the gas pedal :) It gets very warm! Is that normal? It's really too hot to be able to drive any distance. Is there any kind of insulation that I can put on the engine covering to help? Thanks!
Ann there should be a heat shield in there between the cab and exhaust manifold if its not in place your foot will get pretty warm. If you look and don't see a piece off metal usually aluminum between there your going to have to get one in there to keep your feet cool and prevent the carpet from burning/melting from excessive heat. If you have to purchase a heat sheid i'd recomend a salvage yard there's a good chance they have an older van or something similiar to what you would need. good luck
Gosh, thanks for the quick response! There is an engine cover on it (plastic I guess), I took that off and the inside of it does seem to be lined with metal. Is that what you're referring to? If so, then I still have a problem of my foot getting hot. Can you tell I really have no idea what I'm doing :)
