Report on the Craig's break down in Texas

[mbulriss]

Ralph,

If Wallace got coolant and tranny oil mixed, let's hope he shut the
engine down in time when the light came on and isn't looking at an
engine re-build also...... As it is, it is going to be a bear of a job
to flush out all the coolant system. Did Wallace say what the engine
temp was when the stop light came on?
