Hot Feet!

[Chuck Wheeler]

I am getting warm (Hot) air around my feet in the drivers area of our FC. I
have tries to check the obvious areas, Dog house seals etc. It's not coming
from the heaters. Has anyone else run into this? Is there something I am
overlooking? Any Ideas appreciated.

Did you close your vent up front? Kind of silly but it can happen.

Actually I opened it to cool my feet and that helped some. The only thing
different was we couldn't run the generator so we had the windows and vents
open. This may have been drawing hot engine air in. It was much worse when
the radiator fan came on so it is hot air leaking from the engine someplace.

Chuck, have you replaced the insulation in your dog house? On my FC, that
was the culprit.

I had the same problem, you have to have real good seals at every point of
the dog house to stop leaks when a window is open. I used high heat tape.
To seal where the doghouse meets the fire wall. That was the largest leak.
I also added sound / heat insulation to the are right of the throttle pedal
to stop radiant heat from the radiator. With 60 mph + wind on the nose and
any window open, the smallest opening lets a lot of heat through.

I think that you are probably on to my problem Jim! I drove it far enough
to get warmed up and then set the idle up with the fan engaged. I could
feel warm air moving. I have some work to do!
