Dont say never buy a car from Mazda, just that particular dealer. I own a Mazda and the service is excellent from my dealer. I love them and would recommmend them to anybody.

My experience wasn't as bad as yours, but it was bad enough to keep me from ever going back. By the way they're alienating the existing customer base, I guess it's a good thing for them that Orlando has a lot a new folks moving in.

I'm not saying all Mazda sales people are bad. I initially dealt with Classic Mazda and they were very nice. They just didn't have the truck I wanted in stock. I am only referring to Corey Fairbanks Mazda

#330 of 747 1993 B-Series oil pumps by kurt29 Oct 26, 2000 (7:37 pm)
I was looking for info on the oil pump for a 93 B2200. I suspect the oil pump is worn because of a growling noise coming from the engine when it is cold. I've got 46K miles and was wondering if this was about the time to replace the oil pump. If not, what else could be causing the growling noise?

#332 of 747 1999 B3000 engine noise by nebula30 Oct 28, 2000 (10:52 am)
I have a '99 B3000 4 Dr with 13,000 miles on it. Recently I've noticed what sounds like the valves rattling.. normally only during acceleration in overdrive...seems to help with overdrive off. was real noticeable on a trip to the mountains. I have read these responses on Mazdas and think you guys refer to this as engine "pinging"....I have only been using reg unleaded at 87 Octane but will try 89 octane to see if it helps. I hope this will fix the problem...I had a 4 cyl '90 Ford Ranger that began doing that but only after 100,000+ miles. Gas prices in GA are over $1.50/gal for premium but may be worth it to fix the problem...anyone have any comment on the pinging/valve rattling ?

Sorry to hear about the pinging with your B3000. The 3.0L Vulcan engines seem to be notorious for this problem. I had a '99 B3000 4X4 4-door and it started doing the same thing at the 4500mi mark. I ran 92 octane in it and it really helped reduce the pinging and it also smoothed out the engine roughness (less vibrations felt through the gas pedal). Yes, try the higher octane fuel. It should help. Unfortunately, now you've got higher fuel costs to contend with...
