Nothing bad just got a bit warmer than I thought it should...

Went to work on the ride height (see the suspension part of the forum) and found the top radiator hose collapsed...

 Guess thats not a good thing, huh? Already had the replacement here ready..

Jim, Just had the cooling prob too.  Had a leak, the intake manifold cracked, had another leak the heater core went, had another leak that was the radiator.  At least we got home!

It was great that nothing went wrong while you were driving.   Glad you are fixing the ride height.   It was a tad high.
