| I've heard that the standard fuel 3.0L is rated as 143/180. And the Flexible Fuel 3.0L is rated as the 150/190. My B3000 is the Flexible Fuel 3.0L. I have not tried running the alternative fuel to date... | |
| Need an opinion. Last week, I purchased the Superchips Module for the 3.0L engine. With the package came a statement that the Superchips Module might not work on some 3.0L engines because of a circuit board wiring change by the manufacturer. Well, I've apparantly got one of these boards in my 3.0L. The engine will not start when the Superchips Module is installed. Superchips says that they will modify the board, free of charge. Turn around time is about 3 or 4 days. I will have to mail the board and the module to Superchips for the alteration. They guarantee the work. What to do? Should I send my computer board in to be modified, or just forget the whole thing and get a refund? I'm open for suggestions. Thanks... | |
| If you truck is still under warranty get a refund. Wait until it goes out of warranty and then buy the chip.... | |

I'll agree with vince on that one about the 3.0L in the the B-Series brochure it is listed as the flexible fuel but 143/150 I believe its 150/190 though. |
|
| Thanks guys. That suggestion makes sense. I'll wait on having the board modified... | |
| I should have said in the above entry that I will have the board modified IF I still own the B3000 after the warranty expires. I will be taking a serious look at the 2001 Rangers and B-Series with the SOHC 4.0L!!! | |
| Had a chance to test drive the 3.0L? Just wondering... | |

| No I haven't. I have been so busy lately with working and I have a personal golf coach that I meet with every day. So one day | |
| Hi, '98 Mazda B4000 owner who queered about paint problems a while back. One other problem we have been having periodically over the past year/year and a half is with oil consumption. It seems to happen most often when doing longer hiway trips, but does happen occationally with town driving. It has been down more than two liters (quarts) at times. We have mentioned it to our service provider, who assures us there is no sign of leaks or burning. On one trip last year, we put four liters in on a 2500 kilometer trip (about 1700 miles). Has anyone else with a similar year, 4000 series truck experienced the same problems? Haven't seen any references to it. | |
| I have a Ford Ranger with a 4.0 same year as your Mazda. I have never burned any oil and now have about 30K on the truck. Have you noticed any leaks? oil in radiator fluid? Have you taken it into the dealer? This is a sign something is wrong. Take it in asap before your warranty is up. | |
