Its annoying when outside temp is a nice 70F and inside is in the 80s for hours. The metal base of the passanger seat reached 115F couple days ago in TX. Now ac pipe burst and im in IN, its gona be 68-70 tonight and im sweating balls here friggin 86 inside

Prostars are particularly bad about letting exhaust heat bleed into the cab. My own truck had those "hot inside the cab" problems so I wrapped the exhaust. It was one of the better thing I did and it made a big difference.

Here is what I recommend...

* A decent exhaust wrap... https://amzn.to/2DKibo2 (I think it takes 2 rolls if I remember right).
* Metal exhaust zip-ties for it every 6 inches or so ... https://amzn.to/2DKCp16

-- The easiest way to wrap it is to actually just remove the exhaust pipe. It is fairly easy to remove the entire exhaust pipe by simply disconnecting it off the back of the turbo, then off the front of the D.O.C., and remove the hanger bolt where it attaches to the underside of the cab (or frame on older prostars) at the mid-point. The entire thing will then slide out and under the back of the truck as a single piece with some maneuvering. This is same procedure you do when you need to replace the flex exhaust section behind the turbo if you want it done right.
