Yes, it's a byproduct of the internal combustion engine...

All cars do this. If you pop the hood, it's pretty hot under there too. You can cook food on your engine.


In all seriousness, cars get hot. But without actually being there to feel how hot it is, we can't tell you if it's normal or not. Look at your coolant gauge? If it's where it's normally been, you are more than likely fine. The exhaust is what gives off a lot of heat under the car. The engine fan is what blows it out of the sides.

1st gen G's 2003-2004 Produce alot more heat than 2005-2006. Dont know hwy, but thats what i was told when i dyno'ed my car at Church Automotive, I had asked him why did my power drop off on the 2nd run, Church told me it was due to Heat soak that the 1st gen (2003-2004) cars produce, 2005-2006 are much better with this issues...

Yeah, i wonder what the change is. I always thought there was something wrong. the Coolant gauge is always normal, so I guess i can rest with ease.
Thanks to all the guys that posted, really helps out.

Ive actually noticed my 04 G feel a bit cooler under the hood compared to other cars ive owned.

I did a tranny fluid drain and after driving the car for 20 min or so I check the dipstick and I noticed the engine seemed to not be as hot as other cars.

but if the 05+ are cooler.....wow

My '06 is plenty hot. But it's on par with other vehicle's i've owned.

I can't understand why the 05-06's would have less heat output. Same mechanical design, same engine trans. Maybe the mechanical fan vs e-fan has something to do with it?
