Nov. 2008, I was filling up my Raider in Earlimart...a little town north of Bakersfield. I heard 'pop' from somewhere, then saw a stream of green water from under my truck! Great! 45 miles from nowhere, no parts store, and between home and my destination.

The original 87 Mitsubishi heater hoses had just given up the ghost. I was able to purchase all the formed hoses from Napa the following day. I did belts and hoses together for the cost of about $200. The two behind the carb were not fun to access, my back hurt for many day afterward.

Good luck!
