Default 07 hot

yesterday it was 90 out so I opened the hood of my 07 Chevy pickup and crawled up and sit on the top of the engine with a couch pillow and guess what it was FING HOT and I don't know why its even water cooled and has an oil cooler and STILL HOT
&nbsp\\;
Maybe some fuel management and a k/n and some exhaust will that help NOT
&nbsp\\;
or I'll trade for a Ford or Dodge
&nbsp\\;
Morale of the story some of you guys are really intellignet and some of you are plain friggin stupid

I only ride in the rain.&nbsp\\; Keeps the bike cooler?&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; We dont worry about the temp down here in Alabama.&nbsp\\; When you want to ride, you do.

Contact RJ's Originals.&nbsp\\; He can probably make you a set of heat deflectors for that beast.
