I have recently been having some problems with my truck and just wanted to see if anyone has any ideas before I bring it into the shop. Thanks in advance for...
I bet that you get a lot of black smoke out of the tailpipe when you floor it or try to climb a hill. I experienced the same problem for over a year and ...
At least 90%. I've heard of different distributors being used, but that's about it....... Fred ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!...
Thanks for the reply. As of yet I have not seen any black smoke out of the tailpipe. The only thing I see out of the tailpipe is white smoke but only when the...
More than 90%, even the distributors will swap with minor variations. If you do that, swap the whole thing and you should be OK, I think it's just internal...
Andrew, I have an 89 automatic with the KM148 4-speed overdrive with 120k miles on the tranny and 14k on the motor. My transmission is failing the symptoms...
So I brought the truck into the shop today and had the mechanics take a look to solve my hesitation problem. Initially he suggested that it was the carb, and I...
My aunt left me her 1985 monte carlo with 40000 orginal miles on it.The spark plug had never been changed,so you see I had the same problem. What I did was...
Hi all! I "inherited" an 88 Ram 50 2.6 S/T from my dad, who took awful care of it. It has officially been declared a "gross polluter" by the state o' ...
Seems as though you've answered your own question. Good luck and keep us posted....... This leaves possibly a fuel filter or fuel pump or the dreaded carb. ...
My opinion is, you have a slight leak in the head gasket. 1). This would explain the oil consumption w /out a leak. 2). This would also explain the 'cannot...
Kevin, Yes, I agree that the distributors will swap, but the question was about gaskets, etc. I just wanted them to know the that the dist. cap gaskets were...
Blast the plug base w/ WD40 or 'Blaster' or WD80, or whatever 'penetrant' you can spray around the plug, then jar it. Put a wrench/ ratchet on it and slam it...
I had this problem once on my #2 and #3 cylinders. Try soaking the plug with a penetrant like WD40 overnight or a few hours at least. Then spray it again. Then...
Mick, Except for maybe a test run, don't drive it with the top off the air cleaner. It will shorten the engine's life. Instead, get a taller air filter like...
In the rear of the air cleaner you will see a large hose attached to it inside is another filter which since you say the truck has been treated badly,try...
This is a common problem, especially if the carb has been rebuilt. I'm not sure exactly why, but educated guess is that because some of the diaphragms in the...
Well, I have decided that the 2.6 in my '86 is a little tired and in need of rebuild or replacement. SInce the truck is my only means of transportation, a...
The 2.0L in the Eclipse is not going to mate to your 2.6L head or tranny. (probably not the motor mounts either.) If you are close-by, I have a complete 2.6L...
Thank you all for your words of advice. I'll be getting one of those taller air filters and setting it up this weekend. As I mentioned before, the truck will...
Hey All: Just a follow up from a thread I started last week. Brought it into an engine guy today and he took out the stuck plug and re-threaded the hole and...
Well- CA emissions on theese late 80's trucks isn't too hard to pass. I managed to do it knowing it wasn't even close to really being tuned right. Twas a ...
I know that some people have mated up a 2.0 Liter engine to a Dodge Ram 50 or mighty max. I do not know what type of mods they had to do, but from what I...
It is important to clarify that there are two 2.0's from Mitsubishi, the old (RWD) 2.0L, 4g52, the one used side-by side w/ the 2.6L and the (FWD) 2.0L, I...
I have an 86 Ram 50 for sale. The body is in great shape, no rust. 65,000 miles (that is not a typo). Leaks a little bit of oil and has a little bit of...
