Looking into a 1992 150 dodge truck. 4X4 5 speed... Just trying to find myself a beater for the weekends. The owner claims a squeaky pilot bearing is the only issue...This is after pulling the engine to replace the clutch? Says all parts are new..clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing and pilot bearing. Thinks he installed the pilot incorrectly causing the noise... any recommendations? should i buy and fix.. or not even chance it?

 

X2.

see if you can take it for a test drive and listen to where the noise is coming from.

 

if it is a pilot bushing, you could remove it and install mopar# 53009180AB.
this is a roller type bearing that installs in the large register in the crank instead of the small machined hole.

 

Got there to test drive the truck and it wouldnt start... no click no whine no nothing... decided to look else where... thanks for the help though. I have another posting asking about the NP203 transfer case in the dodge trucks forum... Feel free to comment on it as well.. Trying to find out some info on the durabillity of this T-case behind a 440.

 

It's a pretty good case. Strong and relaible, even for a chain driven t-case. It's a full time case that can be converted to part time too.
