Just picked up an 89 RAM 50 4x4 this past Sunday. Seems like a great little truck. 2.6 with 113,000 miles. Looks like all i need is a fan shroud which i have a lead on. Good looking truck. Thanks for the video.
i have the exact same truck and it is my first truck as well got it in the middle of high school and it runs great i love the thing it is a dodge and had the same grille and trim as this one
My '87 B2600 has the same engine, Mitsubishi 2.6, and I went with a Weber 38/38. It is a great improvement over the original Mikuni!!! Great looking mini truck by the way....
thx @@barrygolden9823 ... called two weber shops in cal, both confirm no ...webers pass emissions on the tail exhaust and better, but not approved by the cal emissions dept, no one tested them
on the 2.6L G54B, must the carb be removed first, before the fuel pump can be replaced ? ... like agent 69, it 'misses by that much' 1" or less until it hits the back of the mikuni and it's stuck... no wiggling seems to make it come out ... the mikuni is a pita to get out, some 12 hoses + cables in the carb !!!
@@solartonytony5868 I think you can just bypass/unhook the Mikuni and put an electric at the tank and run straight to the carb. Check around online for the right pressure pump. I don't recall what mine is.
this is an awesome video, I just did the same thing on my 89 mighty max, my carb faces the other way but the choke is facing the same direction as yours.
...the timing chain has a bit of slack, about 1/2" or so, on the driver's side ... passenger side is tight, the side where the tensioner is installed ...the chain, sprockets, all look good & shinny, no sign of damage as far as the eye can see ... should this be a concern ? G54B engine, 2.6L auto, gas
@@jamesrouse72 The phone number to the place that I ordered from is in the description. The carb is a Webber 32/36. Those guys will get you set up with the whole kit and kaboodle. All you will need is the vac plugs and M8 set screw and tap that I showed in the video. Permatex Aviation sealant is also a must. The EGR tube has to be removed and sealed in some way. I chose to cut, mash, and weld mine.
Hey man, great video thank you so much for posting this! How's your mechanical fuel pump holding up? I'm about to do a weber swap and I have the same engine / layout as you. I'm trying to avoid an electric fuel pump if I can, but if its inevitable then I suppose I'll have to go with the install. Which Holley pressure regulator did you use? I'd like to use the same one. Looking forward to your electrical fuel pump install video!
Well, the fuel pump crapped the bed 5 days ago. I am actually chalking that up to age. I believe that it is the original one installed in 1987. 37 years is a pretty good run for a mechanical pump. I have a new one to put on here at the house but there is an issue. I'm a southern boy. I don't do cold too well. It is in the high 20's and dropping today. supposed to be 15 tonight and that aint gonna work for me. I should be doing a video on that pump install. It is mechanical. The Holly part number is HLY-12-804 on the Summit Racing website. Hope that helps brother. If the replacement mechanical craps out, will be going electric.
@@plow-boyengineering7053 You bring up a great point about the fuel pump age, I may replace mine as well while I’m messing around with the carb install. Looking forward to the video! Stay warm haha
I have her in the garage and right now am contemplating the job. I have a problem when it comes to auto mechanics. Short, big arms and very large hands. Ring size 16.5. This may be too tight for me without pulling the intake manifold. Not sure I want to go that route so update may be delayed. The electric option is looking better and better.

Hey i hope you get this message so I’m trying to do what you did with the breather filter on the valve cover but I’m almost there I’m just stuck what did you do for the to carb line and to ac line did you remove and plug the black canister
... on the 2.6L engine, does the carburetor need to be taken out, before the fuel pump can be removed & replaced ? ...fuel pressure is at 1 psi & oscillating, definitely needs a new fuel pump ...
@@plow-boyengineering7053 awesome video I have a 2.0 , does the carb need to be taken out before the fuel pump can be replaced? I also have big hands lol
Yes it does, I have a 2.6l, and unfortunately you do need to pull off the carb, which honestly is super easy, the main issue is having another carburetor gasket to replace it when you remove the carb. After that it will seem like the intake manifold itself is in the way, you can wiggle and slight of hand the pump out, but removing the studs the fuel pump sits on is the easier way to go, and it will make an oily mess when you pull it out. The plastic spacer is necessary, don't discard it, it's factory, and 2 fuel pump gaskets will be needed.
awesome, thx @@plow-boyengineering7053 ...yes, using gasket ... will it work if applied to both sides of the oil pan gasket ? ... small leaks in those spaces, the bolts are small and don't press enough to completely seal the joint ...trying to avoid re-threading 2-3 bolts to a next higher size ...
thx@@plow-boyengineering7053 ... is #242 the loctite blue thread sealant part number ? ... one or two threads for the oil pan bolts may need re-threading, any other options ?
If I had any reservations about the oil pan threads, I would drill and re-tap all of them so I would be dealing with all the same bolt head size. This is definitely a place where a good seal is vital. Blue lock-tite is almost always a good thing.

Love this truck, and every Mighty Ram 50 Max deserves the Harley Davidson plate on the front just like mine. These trucks were a lot of fun.

does it pass california emissions ?
@@solartonytony5868 I am going to say no but my state doesn't have emissions testing.

I’d like to have all the EGR equipment, electronic carburetor, breather filter and all
man, wish I knew. would have sent it for shipping. I got rid of all of it.

not sure. never been inside of one. I am not an auto mechanic by trade. I'm an industrial mechanic.
Thanks for the video!! Just bought a 88 4x4 D50,, Think Ill be going this route. Mines a 2.6,,, any updates since u finished,, keep posting
Running like a champ. Will be doing away with the mechanical pump and going to an electrical pump soon. will do a video on that.
Good deal, can u post any info on the exact carb and extras in would need, love the vid,, keep an comin!!

I don't have AC. I just left the evap canister as it is. plugged the no longer used port.
Is that a 610 or 614 kit.
... on the 2.6L engine, does the carburetor need to be taken out, before the fuel pump can be removed & replaced ? ...fuel pressure is at 1 psi & oscillating, definitely needs a new fuel pump ...
I have no idea on that motor. Mine is a 2.0L. wish i could be of more help.
@@plow-boyengineering7053 awesome video I have a 2.0 , does the carb need to be taken out before the fuel pump can be replaced? I also have big hands lol
I am not sure about the factory carb clearance. I am running a Webber 32/36. I had enough clearance.
Yes it does, I have a 2.6l, and unfortunately you do need to pull off the carb, which honestly is super easy, the main issue is having another carburetor gasket to replace it when you remove the carb.

The plastic spacer is necessary, don't discard it, it's factory, and 2 fuel pump gaskets will be needed.
Also, you don't have to drain the coolant completely, if you left the drivers side up with a jack, you only need to drain about 1 liter out, if that.
is the weber carb legal in California ? that is, does it pass cal emissions ?

Another option....
can the red permatex aviation sealant be used to seal the oil pan gasket ?
The gasket sealant definitely cannot. It is a paste. A high quality RTV maybe. I would use a proper gasket even if I had to make one out of cork.
awesome, thx @@plow-boyengineering7053 ...yes, using gasket ... will it work if applied to both sides of the oil pan gasket ? ... small leaks in those spaces, the bolts are small and don't press enough to completely seal the joint ...trying to avoid re-threading 2-3 bolts to a next higher size ...
I don't see why not. I am partial to the high temp black RTV though.

Hello, I liked your video, did the mpg performance increased or just the speed.
Thanks
I did not check either. Truck went from not running to running.
