Dodge Raider - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

If you are only getting 6 volts from the battery to the starter it is only 1 of two things. The wire going from the battery to the starter is damaged or corroded and has to be replaced. Or the battery is no good. The battery may have 12 volts when you attach a voltmeter. Red on Red , Black on Black and this will make you think this battery is good as most people would.But when you apply a load to the battery the voltage may drop to the 6 volts therefor the starter when activated is now only receiving 6 volts which is not enough to start the engine. Have your battery loadtested and I will bet that this is the culprate

Maybe excess oil use during rebuild
Would let it run a while see does it clear

A bad flasher would not usually cause no brake light, the problem you are discribing sounds like it could be a bad multi function switch, that is the turn signal/hazard switch, everything you have that is not wrking, goes through that switch on most cars. Would need to look and a schematic to make sure and do some voltage checks, but that is the direction I would trouble shoot it in.

My info says, 123456 for the firing order. The dist rotor moves ccw. It shows odd and even banks, one bank is 135, the other bank of cylinders 246.

It depends on several factors. Generally, compression with all spark plugs out should be around 100 psi, but the main thing is that no cylinder is more than 20% different from the others. So if all are around 80 or 110 thats ok too. One cylinder that is more than 20% higher or lower from the others is not good.

No, I don't have the Labor guide on CD. I have the big book at my shop. Feel free to email me with any labor guide questions. I don't have a problem sharing information with other techs. We're in this together. [email protected]

If it's not leaking its burning it and the noise could be a lifter

the look up info is marked 3.0 L, v6, S , FI, im taking , the S = it's a single if you open the hood and look at top of motor there should be a logo in middle of motor.

it was frozen

check fuses first.then check the bulbs low beams may be blown going over a hole in the road.

no, because one in particular runs your spark advance.

I would check all your local automotive salvage yards, or if the damage isn't too bad, have it repaired.

If 4th gear is good, no slipping, then your transmisson is toast. Replace with a known good working one.
