Sounds like a plan. I was pretty surprised by how hot is was getting under there after adding the plates. Lots for a 3rd party to balance in plate design between protection and cooling for widely modified rigs. Also thanks to 2001LC for his...

Thanks for the update, keep us posted. Should get better as you get to lower elevation. If you can get a tank of non-ethanol you can probably drive in the heat of the day. Check Pure-gas.org - ethanol-free gasoline in the U.S. and Canada -...
Should be good to get home. E10 gas, high temperature and high elevation are the things that most cause this.
While at higher elevation if you can get non-ethanol gas and drive while cooler that will help a lot. As you get to lower elevations...
