Quick update on my 87 Dodge Raider project

[@JohnnyBfromPeoria]

I approve of these repairs, all of them. Hazard switch is unobtainium, so what you've done is perfect. I lucked out and found I had a brand new one in the package on the shelf for my 87 I'm trying to get running. Love the content and the humor - look forward to the next one!

I am currently in the middle of making a 9 pin hazard switch from a 2nd gen work in the 87. I have everything but brake lights, so I am going to run the brake light power past the switch to the wires and use diodes to prevent back feeding the system.

Also I am checking with a few KZbin guys in Australia about getting a used hazard switch from them.

Great shape 4 a 87 , very good looking vehicle.

[@OldCarGarageUSA]

Those repairs all seem legit, send it!😁

[@RealWorldGarage]

Coming along, way better than when you got it.

The Hazard switches on these are a common issue and rare to find. Someone though in the FB Montero community has managed to modify a 2nd Gen hazard switch to work. The only issue is fitting it inside the dash opening as they are slightly different sizes.

we had one of these in my family 2.6 5spd stick..30/9.50s an it was the best!

[@Foxcanfixit]

I wanted 30/9.50s, but couldn’t find any cheap ones at the time 🤷‍♂️😀

[@SkunkMonkey14]

That thing is cool. Off road time!

[@Foxcanfixit]

If it’s lean, it runs mean 😉😂

[@JohnnyBfromPeoria]

How did the starter replacement go?

[@Foxcanfixit]

Well, getting to the solenoid and stuff was fine, but Who in the H E double hockey sticks decided threading mounting bolts in from the bell housing side was a good idea? Hopefully they fired that guy.

@@Foxcanfixit when you were asking if you should do it on a livestream, I was like "NO!" It's a two universal joint, three extension and four beer job.

[@Foxcanfixit]

It was a universal socket, wobbly extension, stubby flex head ratchet, and I still needed an extra wrist or elbow joint 😀
