Overheating!

When Talmage and Grant got back from their trip to Phoenix for the wedding receptions they drove home from the airport ... in the Merc that they had waiting in the parking area.  On their way home the car started overheating.  They left the car at a car dealership in Arlington so we could have them evaluate what was going on and pick it up later.

  

The dealer said the intake manifold was cracked and it was leaking.  We decided we would pick up the Merc and fix it ourselves.  Thankfully our friend, Steve, had a car hauler we were able to borrow, so we wouldn't kill it on the way back to east Texas.  We parked it at the ranch for a few weeks to investigate the issue.  After a bit we decided to drive it and see if it started overheating again.  Well, it worked!  We think it was just low on coolant.  If there's a crack or a leak, it doesn't seem to be a big issue at this point, thankfully.

Mhari was so happy to have "her" Merc back.  She has nicknamed it "Carrot".
