1980s Mitsubishi 2.6L(4G54 or G54B) water pump replacement

Here’s how to replace the water pump on a 1980’s Mitsubishi 4G54 2.6L engine, commonly found in Mighty Max trucks and Monteros, Dodge Ram 50s and Raiders.

If only they were all that easy. Good video, dude. Engine also known as the G54B.

[@Foxcanfixit]

Thanks! It was an easy one since the fan shroud is missing. I changed the title to add the G54B nomenclature.

Great video I certainly enjoyed the PBS aspect lol I did have a little ptsd of old k car Chryslers just minor flashbacks lol good work!!

[@Foxcanfixit]

Thanks CP! Only thing I really forgot was showing how much it lay there was in the old bearing 🤷‍♂️ oh well.

I reuse coolant all the time, as long as it doesn’t look like the toilet at your local bar, it’s fine.

[@Foxcanfixit]

Yep, I should really test it though, old coolant conducts electricity easier and that electricity dries out/rots hoses from the inside out.

[@RealWorldGarage]

Well someone kept coolant in it looks like. No obvious corrosion behind that pump.

[@Foxcanfixit]

It’s also only got 80k miles on it

G54B 2.6L engine, must the Mikuni carb be removed to replace the fuel pump ?

[@Foxcanfixit]

I believe so.
