I really like the ML series. The ML is "magnetic latching" which uses no or minimal power and thus no heat is generated.
Is the Blue Sea ML an isolator or separator?

Separator, meaning it protects both sides from too much discharge.

That does sound like a reason.
Still don't like that the separator gets hot.

Keep in mind that the separator solenoid consumes about 0.9 amp at 13.8+ volts. Power = amps * volts or 13.8 * 0.9 => 12.4 watts. This is dissipated as heat. If you don't think that this can get hot, grab one of those little 4 watt incandescent night light bulbs after it has been turned on for an hour or so. Makes you appreciate how much heat is created by 12 watts.

Have you contacted Stan at FWC?.
They might give you some info about your separator.
I don't thing the charging should go back to the truck
battery through the separator. Doesn't sound right.
