Looks like the other truck has 4.27 gears so it has to work harder and generates more heat. Get him on some 4.63's and retest. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />


Also were you both in low range? These are large factors in generating heat. Having a hood vent will make a huge difference but for the sake of comparison don't forget to factor in the gearing.
