Getting the Wheeling Fever
|
Hey everyone thanks for all the help. The 89 I bought is great. I have done a few things to get it up to par.
I am planning a vacation in Aug. to Arkansas and I want to get the Raider into full travel mode. I am going to get some extra cash and want to put it into the rig.
Looking for a good mechanic in the houston area familiar with these rigs. If it needs it, I am going to replace/fix it.
Thanks for any help.

Hate to say it. Never have time and money together. The raiders all of them are available.
Parts or whatever you want.

What type of work do you need other than service and tune up? Just be carefull going to someone and saying "fix everything" the bill could be huge! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />

Well for the most part the truck seems in great shape.
Newer motor 30K ago, all new belts, wires, ac, etc.
Looking underneath it I see some seals leaking and stuff like that.
Need all the fluids changed, that type of stuff. I have already done new fuel gauge, exhaust gasket, and belts.
So any help is great.

Thanks for the help. I live up north of H town. Cut n Shoot area. I am thinking I am going to have to replace a bunch of seals. Seems to be some goo on the underside of the rig. Thanks again. KKD <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Hello Houston members. We ought to go wheelin sometime. I can't give you a mechanic that specializes in Monteros I have not found one yet. My cousin owns a mechanic shop on Star road @ chimney rock. (Galleria area) He has been in business for many many years. the main thing is that he is honest. He has done all of the work I can't handle. No complaints so far. If you guys want to go wheelin call me 832-771-2774. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
