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 way2old Veteran / Moderator Jul 27, 2007, 11:13 AM Post #2 of 5 (3417 views) Re: Dodge D50 Sign In 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. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds Guest Anonymous Poster Jul 27, 2007, 11:38 AM Post #3 of 5 (3416 views) Re: Dodge D50 Sign In Thanks so much!!!! I guess I have one more question, Where would we be able to locate the refurbished cam?? Not just any auto store right?? any suggestions on where to call for the part? way2old Veteran / Moderator Jul 27, 2007, 1:48 PM Post #4 of 5 (3411 views) Re: Dodge D50 Sign In 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. http://www.autozone.com/...artTypeResultSet.htm Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds thomas74 User Sep 3, 2007, 3:03 PM Post #5 of 5 (3400 views) Re: Dodge D50 Sign In best thing to do is send your cam to a machine shop and let them fix the orignal 1   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
