Hello,
I have a question about a 1989 Dodge D50 2 wheel drive Standard 2.6 liter truck. It is my brothers vehicle and he does not have access to the internet, so I am assisting him today. He is replacing the distributor on the truck, but was told his cam is also bad, he wants to know if it's possible to use a USED or refurbished cam, and NEW berrings, or does he need to purchase a brand new cam. sorry if the spelling is not correct, I'm not a mechanic and I'm just trying to translate the best I can here. I appreciate any help I can get on this matter. Thanks in advance

The bearings are the aluminum caps that hold the camshaft in place. So it depends on what the caps look like. If the journal areas are smooth, you may be able to reuse them. And a refurbished cam is perfectly fine to use. They weld up and grind the camshaft down to factory specs. A used one will probably work if there are no score marks in it. Good luck to your brother.

I don't know what you expect to pay, but go here and enter your zip code for camshafts. But before you go to all that trouble and expense, exactly what is wrong with the camshaft that is in it? There may be no problem with it. Just wondering and not questioning the ability of the person that said it was bad. Just curious.
