Default Powerplant Problems?

Forgive me if this is already somewhere else on the site. I've spent over an hour searching and have found one mention of PP issues. My bumper will require a Powerplant to sit on top. Has there been any overheating problems, or anything else with this monster sitting up there on the front?

I haven't had any problems yet and I've been on a 6 hour freeway drive in 100 degree heat and also out on the trail. It does tend to run a bit warmer though.
I do hate that Warn, maker of both the winch and the bumper I have, couldn't have come up with a better fit.

You could always buy a bumper that sits the winch lower between the frame rails, so it blocks less of your radiator. Here is a shot of my Powerplant and Shrockworks bumper............................
