What are the risks of soldering copper wire to aluminum wire? I just had
to repair a wire on my Chevy truck. The original wire was aluminum and I
spliced a copper wire between two ends of the damaged wire. It seemed to
take the solder well but I have reservations about the longevity of the
fix. What are the implications of having done this? Am I looking a a
problem down the road (pun intended)

Aluminium is very difficult to solder.
You need a special very powerful flux to do it successfully.
