Ram 50 versus D-50?

[ChristopherASA]

I've got a '90 Ram 50 2.4L (a 4G64 I think), and my Haynes Manual includes the D-50: Any real mechanical difference twixt the two? Thank you guys and gals!

The Dodge D-50s were made from 1979 to 1980. Dodge started to call them Dodge Ram trucks in 1980, but the name officially changed to Ram 50 in 1981. It literally is a name only change, there is no other difference otherwise. The big cosmetic change is in 1983 when the Ram 50s got quad headlights to distinguish them from the new to the USA MMM trucks.

Clears up MUCH of my confusion! Thank you.
