#291 of 747 Correction by matt98 Jul 02, 2000 (12:35 am)
That last response should have been directed to tacoma_trd not xena1a. Sorry.
#292 of 747 matt98 by tacoma_trd Jul 03, 2000 (12:59 am)
no I have never found what the problem was, but it seems to do it worse on hot days and when I run the air conditioner on high. so the answer is no, and I dont know how to fix it, sorry.
#293 of 747 getting ready for newer B series by dizzy2 Jul 09, 2000 (6:38 am)
I sold my 2200 and will hopefully get a B2600i '92 model with extended cab for $4800. Is there anything negative known about this model? This is a 2WD with 89k on it. I am trying to save up money for a down payment on a house, but I MUST have a truck!! How could I live without a truck??? I am trying to get a used low problem model that has a good reputation for running like a Timex watch.
#294 of 747 B4000 vs. Ranger by leif3 Jul 10, 2000 (7:52 pm)
Hi there, Could anyone enlighten me as to the differences between the B4000 and Ranger? From what I've seen the B4000 has higher reliability ratings but folks tell me they are identical trucks. Can anyone resolve why this would be?
#295 of 747 leif3 by tacoma_trd Jul 11, 2000 (12:54 am)
They are identical trucks, except for the front grill and the rims, thats pretty much the only differences

Ford owns Mazda
#297 of 747 by scape2 Jul 16, 2000 (9:19 pm)
Don't forget the big one, Mazda has a longer warranty than Ford on its truck line. As far as mechanicals, both the same. I believe its just a personal preference on styling that you may prefer....
#298 of 747 Back from Road Trip by xena1a Jul 17, 2000 (5:34 pm)
Just returned from my annual AZ to CO road trip. My B3000 4WD did pretty good. Got right at 22MPG for the hi-way portion of my trip. Not bad with the AC blasting nearly full time. Took it off road for some 4WD fun and it did fine. Went over Medano, Hayden, and Hermit Passes. The latter of which topped out at 13,020ft. No problems to report. 3,000 miles round trip. Can't wait until next summer!!!
#299 of 747 Auto trans knocking by mb112 Jul 18, 2000 (10:36 am)
I have a 99 B3000 extended cab 4wd with the auto trans. Lately the transmission has developed a bad habit of giving 1-3 jerks when starting from a stop and also right as it comes to a stop. The dealer couldn't feel the jerks even though everyone that rides with me tells me I have problems even when I don't ask them about it. Does anyone else have this problem and know what it is? Also, I can only manage 17mpg on a good day even with highway and conservative driving. is this normal and does anyone have a tip on how to increase mileage?
#300 of 747 B3000 -or- Frontier ?? by wenreder Jul 18, 2000 (5:43 pm)
I require a "second" vehicle for hauling objects that can't fit in my Acura, as well as being a very good Winter traction vehicle. As an ex-mechanic, I was fortunate enough to always have big American "classic" station wagons as my 2nd car for the past 20+ years, plenty of room, so-so in Winter. I've decided to buy a NEW 4-WHEEL DRIVE PICK-UP TRUCK. Started looking last week at MAZDA B3000 SE Cab Plus 4 --and-- Nissan Frontier XE-V6 King Cab. Nissan looks and handles a bit "better" all around, but Mazda is offering 2.9% finance (Connecticut) and I really like the Med. Willow Green Metallic color (perhaps NOT the smartest way to make a decision). >> NOW I "hear" talk of vast improvements for 2001 << I'm very "limited" with $$$$, but I DON'T want to skimp and purchase foolishly either. PLEASE GIVE ALL COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS to assist me in making the "right" purchase. Should I wait until 2001? Is the 2000 Mazda "better" or "not as good" as the Nissan ?? Thanks for your help !!
