1989 Dodge Raider review from North America
"An outstanding rig, second to none."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needs a tune-up.
Needs rings, gaskets, and seals replaced.
Air conditioner needs repairs.
Fluids need changing.
Needs a wheel alignment.
Needs new clutch, and rebuilt transmission.
Needs new shocks, and suspension needs some work.
Needs new power steering pump.
Radiator needs repair, keeps overheating.
Needs a brake job.
General comments?
I would have to say that my 1989 Dodge Raider is an unbelievable piece of machinery.
Even with all of the problems that needs to be taken care of, I have never doubted the reliability of this vehicle. I've taken it all the way from eastern North Carolina to western Missouri and back, without incident.
I intend on keeping this car until it stops moving, and then some. I've never seen another rig take the beating and mistreatment that I have thrown at it, and it keeps on going.
