The engine bay in my E350 (ambulance) gets very hot when driving around. I am not sure if this is normal or not. I am considering adding some vent louvers on the hood to help with air flow thru the bay. Touching the outside of the front fenders is very hot to the touch. Example.. I have 5 batteries - 4 are located outside of the engine bay, and one is located inside. The battery in the engine bay gets so hot that it leaks, while the other 4 are dry as a bone.
So I guess my question is, is a very hot engine bay normal and I shouldnt worry about it, or a design flaw with this van? And, would adding louvers on the hood help out, or maybe hurt whatever airflow cooling design this vehicle already has?
