Is it hot in here?
Finally discovered through trial-and-error that my vehicle is not overheating (don't trust your stock guage! Mechanical guage sez 180). However, after warming up, everything under the hood is hot to the touch. You cannot touch the alternator bracket, the power-steering fill cap or the oil/tranny dipsticks.
Is this normal?

hmm... I wonder if the florida heat has anything to do with this. This morning I got into my car and the steering wheel was so hot I physically couldnt grab it. Had to wrap some of my shirt around it to cool an area down.
