I know you have a lot on your plate, but if you can swing just a long weekend with us all, that would be terrific! But, I understand the pressures of the overfull 5-lb sock!

Top it off and keep on truckin'!
I drove mine with a leaky water pump for a while. I'd top it off and drive 50-60 miles before it started warming up at which point I'd let it cool off and add about a half gallon of water. These trucks truly are amazing. By the way... I later found out that the heater core was leaking but it was never enough for me to notice.. I changed it and now my interior doesn't smell like old chinese food.

Rescue Tape is good stuff to keep around.
Won't fix a busted water pump but a good quick fix for hoses.

That looks like an easy fix if its the heater hose or throttle body hose. I had the freeze plug rust out on my Bronco on the passenger side head right behind the alternator. I had to remove all the brackets but once I moved everything it was easy to replace it. If it takes a while before it overheats you're probably safe and all you have to do is replace those hoses. If it's more sever than that.. it could be a freeze plug or a timing cover leak.

We are indeed meeting at Toms in the morning. If crossing in Mexicali is shorter for you guys, we can certainly set up a time and meet at the head of compadre trail guy!!
