Hey guys. Have a 2012 with Warhammer, AFE Enclosure Kit, everthing else stock. I tow a bit. Over the weekend was coming back through mountains and noticed my Air Intake Temperature-1 was getting pretty high. I picked a number and set it at 136F. Outside temps were 94-96F. I was starting to hit it climbing. It didn't go over but nevertheless high I thought. It maintained reg ext temps when I was on typically level ground. Never been that high to my knowledge. Didn't actually think I needed to monitor but what the hell, I did, and now it's puzzling me. Any thoughts? Monitoring the wrong sensor? Dirty air cleaner? Just the way it is? Thx in advance.- Jim.

IAT1 should be reading thru the MAF. Maybe you were reading the cold side temps of the CAC??



Sorry to say using a No Limit Stage 2 intake, which is an open element under the hood, IAT1 doesn't read higher than outside air temp (OAT) on my '15.
