    Anyone running a Classic get really hot dash temps. All my gauges are very hot to the touch. Temp gun reading is 120 degrees in some places.

    Filament backlight bulbs, vs. led - perhaps?

    In the Volvo I drive the face panel with all the switches in it gets really hot due to the heater duct work running behind it. It could be the same for you.

    Yep. Mine are almost always hot. Has not been a problem for me so far. I bet if you have the metal air suspension dump or 5th wheel slide or axle lock switches they are even hotter to the touch. No big deal.

    Okie dokie. I appreciate all the quick replies and concurring data. I'll direct my worries and overthinking to some other parts of the truck now...
