Mike > Are you using a DSM flywheel? I just can't imagine a ACT pressure plate, 1G fwd flywheel, and any 225mm clutch disc slipping in a rwd. I would think the tires would lose traction before the clutch did.

Jeff is right. You can remove the two solenoids and their associated wiring. Not having them will not cause a CEL. I have been driving my 4G63 powered truck for ~ 4 years now without them, and I even legitimately passed multiple Massachusetts (read: tough) emissions tests without them.

Hi Jeff,

1) Your BW that goes to your ignition coil , MPI relay, etc. needs to be fed power from the ignition switch.

2) Your O2 sensor is missing a couple grounds. I will assume you didn't include them on purpose because they don't connect to the ECU.

3) 5 wires on the CAS seems like 1 Red too ...

Yes Please.

If you are using a stock mightymax / ram 50 tachometer cluster:
You will all quickly realize once you hook up the 90 DSM coil that the tach cluster is meant for a truck with a distributor. So the cluster wants to see twice as many ignition pulses as the DSM coil pack wants to hand out. Thus, the ...

I needed to make room on the passenger side of my engine for the new turbo, and it was a balmy 40 degrees out yesterday, so...... I moved my alternator with some custom bracketry. Yay.

Truck weighed just over 2800 with me in it...

I used -6 AN line on my GSX a LONG time ago and found it to be too small. It caused me to burn oil. I then upgraded straight to -10 AN and all was well again. So I would recommend -10 AN if you are going to do it,

It is really too bad www.mightyd50.com went to hell. There were a lot of great people and info there (along with a few not-so-great people). www.mightyram50.com is ok I guess, but I find it very difficult to navigate, so I don't go there often.

If you swap the whole axle to one from a different make, you also have to have a custom driveshaft made to mate up to it. So I guess you just have the pick your battle. I didn't think swapping the LSD into my rear differential was difficult, but I could see how it looks that way. Either way works ...

I don't know if this is appropriate to ask or not, but can you give a ballpark of the price of that? I bet that I am going to be jealous of that once you get it installed and find out it doesn't slip.

Beautiful parts, its too bad they will never be seen once installed

I am running a stock 90 ECU in my truck, and have never hooked up the speed sensor wire. For 3 years, it has been perfectly fine. Sadly, I have zero experience with the chipped ECU's. However, from what I understand, they need the VSS to determine different rev limiters. So if you are launching, the ...

I have done the swap twice in mightymax's and I feel like I got it right the second time. I almost never have any problems with mine and I drive it basically everyday in the summer and have for the last 3 years.

My biggest recommendation is: Don't cut a hole in the firewall, or smash it with a ...

I am on my 3rd year of happily using mine. I have a 14B, and probably 250 ish hp on a good day. I don't beat the crap out of it, but I do "spirited" driving, and have autocrossed it a few times.

I have been using the stock 1989 d50 radiator with an electric fan for 3 years, and have never overheated. Just make sure you don't have any air bubbles in the cooling system, and you are good to go. When this one eventually breaks, I will be buying a new stock radiator to go in its place. It fits ...

Does anybody have a spare Starquest shifter that they want to go to a good home? Let me know.

4g63mightymax

Yes, you want to use the FWD pressure plate. It will work with the cable setup

Agreed. It actually holds the power quite well, but it is tough to push down with a cable clutch. As long as your left leg is strong, you will be able to use it. Don't get stuck in traffic though, and watch for ...

The 1G DSM power steering bracket mounts in a location that is not available on my engine. You guys could probably still use it though. If you do put the power steering pump there, the hoses would also be extremely long, cluttering your engine bay. I am about 90% sure that the 2.6L or 2.0L (truck ...

I put power steering on my mightymax for a while using a 1G DSM power steering pump and reservoir with a custom bracket where the AC Compressor mounts on the 4G63. It broke off my HEAVILY reinforced pump bracket every 1000 miles or so, and generally made me want to punch stuff. After getting pissed ...

I don't think that I could possibly tear apart that beautifully original engine bay. I am sure there are speed parts that you could put on the current Alpine engine to give it a bit of pep in it's step. Heck, throw a centrifugal supercharger on it. The thought of throwing a 4G63 in that car would be ...

I would bet that having the EGR port near the throttle body would spread out the exhaust gases better when the EGR valve is opened, but it seems to work just fine with the throttle body on the opposite end. I wonder what kind of pressure the exhaust gasses are under? I assume it would be slightly ...

For what it is worth, I passed a Massachusetts emissions test with a 4G63 in my Ram 50. The test was done on a chassis dyno, with a load on the engine, and with the smog sensor in the tail pipe. I just made sure I hooked up the EGR properly, and I have a 3 inch straight through catalytic converter ...

4g63mightymax

The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve is used for emissions reasons. It attaches to the intake manifold and recirculation exhaust gasses back into the intake manifold when you are at highway speeds. This burns exhaust gasses twice leaves less crap coming out the tailpipe.
I have mine hooked up ...

Unless I missed something, it appears that you have added a hydraulic clutch to a transmission that was originally a cable clutch. Do you have any more pictures of the hydraulic clutch setup? What are you opinions on it so far? Is it worth the effort?

You could always narrow the 8.8, similar to what RICKDEES did on mightyd50.com. It looked fairly easy to do as long as you measure everything properly. Not to mention you get disc brakes with it, :)

How about checking the coolant temp sensor. If that is wired wrong or not hooked up, it makes starting a cold 4G63 a real pain in the ass, because the ECU doesn't know the engine is cold.
Is it hooked up properly?

You still run six lug wheels, you just have to bore out the center of the wheels or turn down the hubs to fit the center of the wheels.

This is true, and there are some decent looking 6 lug factory wheels out there, you just have to do some research to figure out what vehicles had them (there are ...
