Hey guys!

Something I noticed the other day, and just want to idiot check myself.

I have a '14 1500 5.7 Hemi. Temps all look good, and have never had any overheating issues. Popped the hood the other day after driving for about 30 min, and the drivers side of the hood felt uncomfortably hot. Thought it might be the headlights, but the passanger side in the same spot is no where near that hot. Battery seems fine. Runs at 14.2-3 volts when the truck is on, and no discharge at all from there.

Am I paranoid or is this relatively normal? If not, Id like to catch an issue before it becomes one... Thanks!

Exhaust is the hottest part of an engine, inspect both sides.
