{"title":"Dodge Power Ram 50 Parts and Accessories","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Dodge Power Ram 50 was a compact pickup truck sold in North America from 1979 through 1993, built by Mitsubishi and badged as a Dodge for the US market. Available in 2WD and 4WD configurations, the Power Ram 50 used a series of Mitsubishi four-cylinder engines ranging from the 1.6L, 2.0L, and 2.6L Astron units. These compact trucks developed a strong following for their solid construction, and the 4WD variant in particular remains a capable off-road platform with good parts availability from both Mitsubishi-channel and Dodge-specific suppliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePopular Upgrades\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most in-demand Power Ram 50 parts include replacement timing chains and tensioners for the 2.6L Astron engine, carburetor rebuild kits and replacement units, radiator hoses and cooling system components, and front suspension rebuild kits covering ball joints, tie rod ends, and idler arms. Lift kits for the 4WD variant are a popular upgrade, with 2-inch and 3-inch suspension lifts available from aftermarket suppliers. Exhaust headers and replacement mufflers are also frequently ordered for both sound and flow improvements on these four-cylinder trucks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2.6L Astron four-cylinder engine in 4WD Power Ram 50 trucks responds well to a cold-air intake setup and a performance header, both of which improve throttle response on a platform where the engine works hard given the chassis weight. Carburetor upgrades from the stock Mikuni unit to a Weber or Holley replacement are a common first step for owners looking to improve drivability at altitude or in hot weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat engine does the Dodge Power Ram 50 use?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Power Ram 50 used three different Mitsubishi four-cylinder engines across its production run: the 1.6L and 2.0L units in lighter 2WD applications, and the 2.6L Silent Shaft Astron as the higher-output option in both 2WD and 4WD configurations. The 2.6L is the most sought-after engine for performance builds and has the best aftermarket support. Identifying your specific engine code is important before ordering carburetor, timing, or gasket components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAre lift kits available for the 4WD Dodge Power Ram 50?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, suspension lift kits specifically designed for the 4WD Power Ram 50 are available in 2-inch and 3-inch configurations from off-road suspension specialists. These kits typically include new coil spacers or replacement coils at the front and lift blocks or add-a-leaf spring packs at the rear. A body lift can provide additional clearance for larger tires without affecting suspension geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse related categories including \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/collections\/mopar-parts-accessories\"\u003eMopar parts and accessories\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/collections\/suspension\"\u003esuspension upgrades\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/collections\/air-intake-systems\"\u003eair intake systems\u003c\/a\u003e for more parts across your build.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1062\/7920\/collections\/dodge-power-ram-50-parts-and-accessories.png?v=1782251780","url":"https:\/\/www.blackopsautoworks.com\/en-ca\/collections\/dodge-power-ram-50-parts-and-accessories.oembed","provider":"Black Ops Auto Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
