Hello,  
  
  
  
 I have a 1989 Dodge Raider that died on me a month ago. My mechanic said my fuel sending unit is broken, and he couldn’t find another one. I’ve googled and googled, I’ve worked with the biggest car dealer in town – no luck.  
  
  
  
 Does anyone know of another way to approach this? Or a website that has parts from 20-some years ago?  
  
  
  
 Thank you for your help!  
  
 Patty

Have you checked with a Mitsubishi dealer? They made the Raider for Dodge, sold their version as a Montero, I believe.

What exact sending unit? Has your mechanic checked the [rockauto.com](http://rockauto.com) parts site?

Hi Texases,

Thanks for responding. My mechinic called Mitsubishi and struck out. I don’t know about rockauto, so I will check that out today.

Thanks for your help!
