excessive heat near the center console
#21
Stupid question I know but here goes... Do you have rear heat and are sliding to the cool side?
I used to have alot of heat coming from that area, then I remember'd my rear heat and moved it into the cold position and now it's not quite so hot!
The doublesided thermal shielding is awesome! I sold buttloads of that when I worked at Napa

yeah I do have the rear heat and yes it is set to the coldest point. I've actually considered blocking the lines that go in there to keep that area from heating up. Haven't had a chance to tear open the console though to see whats in there.
I think though i have a draft coming in from down there cause last winter i felt a draft of cold air blowing from below the passenger seat when driving on the highway. my wife would complain about her feet being cold but I just thought she was being a nag so i ignored her until i put my hand down there and felt the draft while driving.

QUOTE=slosurfer]Don't get me wrong, it still gets warm down there. I was just making the point that I was surprised to be able to tell the difference. Also, a tranny cooler is always a good idea with an auto tranny. Overheating is the number 1 cause of tranny failure.[/QUOTE]
Slosurfer,
What or where did you get your tranny cooler? I just dumped loads of money into my tranny and engine and want to protect it.
It's funny when I was a little younger I spent every dime I had to get more horsepower out of my mustang, but I am a little older and it seems every penny is going into prolonging the life of my investment.

I had to mod the rear heater control to go just hair more to the off posission or it would warm up.
A Bad cats can cause this too, Do you notice any performance issues.....

My 93 ext cab does the same. I thought perhaps is was because I removed 2 of the 3 shifter boots during the body lift. I used adhesive heat shielding (applied under the truck) and it helped a little bit but it still uncomfortable on long drives. I get out and get under the truck and feel the tranny but it is not warm to the touch at all. I've really only noticed it in the last couple years when I vacationed in Kelowna (usually mid to high 30's celsius occassionaly gets up into the 40's).

There is a shut off valve attached to the firewall for your heater box water shutoff. Make sure it's shutting ALL the way off and not letting a little bit of water thru. I had this issue on my '94 xtracab 4x4 and that's what it turned out to be.

Does anyone else with the 2nd gen 4Runner v6 have issues with excessive heat coming from beneath the center consul and the footwell by the gas petal? I know the exhaust runs through that area below but damn its hot . Its so bad that driving with the ac on is a necessity.
anybody else having this issue?
thanks

Check to see if the exhaust heat shields are still in place? If surface rusty, remove them, prep the surface, and re-coat with heat resistant bright silver paint to reflect the radiant heat. Can't hurt.

Has anyone on the boards ever tried applying this:

I'm wondering if its worth the time install this stuff. its not like much would be needed and if it does what it claims it would be a great improvement.
