#338 of 747 '97 Heater Problems by tone2tone Nov 18, 2000 (6:54 pm)
This is something that has surfaced only recently because of the change in weather. Seems that the heater on my '97 B2300 wants to work when IT WANTS TO work. If I leave the selector knob on "heater" setting and the temp control knob in the red area at night and turn on the truck in the morning, then maybe the heater will warm the cab. Not always though and not from the "Off" position. I've popped open the dash panel to look at the connections etc. and visually all looks okay. Any ideas on what it might be? I'm relunctant to go to the Mazda dealer because walking in is an $80 computer check. The radiator and water pump were replaced a little over a month ago. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

#341 of 747 Missing oil problem returns by guynorde Nov 29, 2000 (6:46 pm)
98 B4000 owner who was missing oil with no signs of leeks or burning. Well it turned out we had a leaky front engine seal, which was replaced at the end of July. Oil leak solved or so we thought. We went on another long road tour in October and started noting low oil levels again. Again, no sign of any leaks. Any ideas?

With the chip you will have to use super unleaded. Another quick mod is a K&N air charger kit. Its a kit that easily replaces your present intake system and allows more air flow into your engine. Another good one is a flowmaster muffler that opens up your exhaust system. Ignition is another mod. Good luck..
#343 of 747 k&N by igloomaster Dec 01, 2000 (5:53 pm)
where can I get info on the K&N air charger kit? do any of these things create long term harm to the engine?
#344 of 747 by scape2 Dec 02, 2000 (12:14 pm)
No harm at all to the engine. Actually K$N will has a lifetime warranty on the filter cartrige. You have to clean them with a special cleaner about every 20-30K depending on your driving conditions. Just type in K&N on your web browser and they will pop up. K&N has been around a long, long time and is a top notch company.

Hope you don't have one of those bad 1998 4.0 engines. I had one - rebuilt without success, in my opinion, by the dealer at 17,000 miles. It didn't burn much oil yet - just sounded very bad -a noise I had never heard before in many hundreds of thousands of miles driving Ford trucks. And, sure enough, I could here the noise again after the "total" rebuild from a dealer I trusted. I traded the truck for a very nice F-150 with 5.4 and so far, no problems at all and working on 25,000 miles. Like I say - hope you don't have one of these engines. I think it was a short production run - my truck was built in February, 1998. There are some bad 4.0 engines out there.
#346 of 747 Mazda Brake Light On by additurp Jan 24, 2001 (2:43 am)
Have 99 B3000 Troy Lee extended cab. Love the truck looks-wise, doesn't get better than my old 90 model, though.   I have a problem with the console BRAKE ON light coming on. It is intermittent, doesn't seem to be related to bumps in road but this morning, stayed on a good minute before going out. Cold mornings and only 2, so far. Anyone else?? Any ideas?? Have 12,000 miles on it. No off-roading.
#347 of 747 Help me on rebuilds: '86 & '91 by pacplate Jan 26, 2001 (6:53 am)
I like my '91 B2600i 4x4 well enough to spend $3 or$4K on re- building the engine, etc. . Any experience on this? I still use my '86 for firewood & horse shit and it has been a remarkably solid truck.. I mainly drive on skid trails & dirt roads in an area that gets 5'-8' of rain.    Seems like there is more misery in new vehicle shoddy engineering plus huge finance and insurance and depreciation charges. I would rather spend that money on my house.
