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. | |
|
I agree with vince8, I have a 97 B4000 and it's never used a drop of oil. Get after the dealer. |

Things have been pretty quiet around here. Getting ready for my annual trip from AZ to CO for some off-road fun. I'll be gone for two weeks of R and R! I'll post MPG numbers for the B3000 when I get back. tacoma_trd - take the 3.0L out for a test drive!!! |

In response to xena1a's question (#258) I have a '98 B2500 that doing the exact same thing that xena1a described. I was wondering if you ever found out what the problem was, and if so, how to fix it? |
