Bought my first astro van with a rebuilt engine and transmission from the factory. It has 300k+ miles on it and 12k on the rebuilts. My floor on both driver and passenger near the engine get really hot to the touch. I can maybe leave my hand there for a few seconds. Is this normal? The flooring was removed and its just metal. I will check the actual temp of the floors tomorrow.

My floor never gets hot.
Really? Mine has been crazy hot ever since I've owned the van - new cat didn't change it, every tune up part has never changed it, I assumed they were all that way.... Maybe just newer ones?

Mine gets hot there too (between seats). I have cupholders on the floor and if I take a long drive any drink get warmed up. I'll have to take a peek if there is any heat shielding there. I know it's on the doghouse cover, but not sure of the floor.
