how many miles did it have when it lost compression? how many miles did you get out of it yourself? just out of curiousity..im going to look at one tomorrow for 600..has 180k on it. everything is in decent shape. strong engine and trans. what do you think?
@zmh1988 I got about two months of use out of it - the head gasket leaked - the seller had poured in a bottle of stop leak. I did the same knowing it was on borrowed time. It ran alright until it just flat quit one day. It served its purpose. I had it crushed - the frame rust was too severe and I couldn't sell it to anyone with a clear conscience.
my uncle has a Ram 50 Sport with 2.6L 5spd... he's turning it into a 5th wheel tractor to haul a custom trailer for his mobile motorcycle repair business.
They're amazing trucks.. I have an 87' Dodge Ram 50 Custom. Came straight out of Japan. 5 speed and kicks some major ass. I ain't never getting rid of my girl. Just got her a couple months ago. Replaced master cylinder.
Bought my 1991 2.4l auto for 300$ with little rust a 70K. Since then I swapped a 5 speed and did cosmetic things but it has been the WORST reliable vehicle I have had but thankfully parts are cheap for it.....
i have a burnout vid on here titled killer burnout, red mighty with a rollbar
@kenfo0 even before I burned out it SUCKED. Got shit MPG when all I ever heard was 24mpg I got like 15mpg max. nutless turd, my gayass 89' SOHC carbed Prelude is faster and more reliable
Yet I want mine (or another one) back so bad just because it was a badass truck...
i have 90 ram 50 that i got for free. mine is fuel injected 5 spd with about 106k miles, im wantin to put a new motor in it but it works for now, not bad for free
in my opinion these trucks are one of the best import trucks for their time. i bought a 92 ram50 for $250 and so far its the most dependable vehicle ive ever owned. they are rare as hell here in SW pennsylvania.
I see two in my town regularly - one has over 300,000 miles on it. Mine was rusted out from up north and not well cared for at all. There's one for sale I'm going to look at tomorrow.
i have an 89 with 350,000 miles on it and i actually just pulled my tranny today for a minor rebuild. normally i would say do what you can to keep these trucks out of the junkyard but yours my friend was too far gone. i cant even get upset. thats a real shame.
Hah, seems I got screwed on my 87 Power Ram 4x4. Spent $850 on it, underside is covered in oil and it runs like crap. 143k miles

i dont know if the carb are as hard to find on an 88 like my 84 but if they are when you go to scrap it you should try to sell it
might be worth it

The truck lost compression in Mid April. The frame was too far gone to sink any money into it, so I had it crushed.
