Replying to: Jillian (Jul 13, 1998 1:09 am) I had a 92 REAL Mazda pick-up and was very pleased. Traded it in on a 97 B2300, which is a FORD Ranger. Since warranty, have had it in shop four times for Check Engine. Each time, it cost between $100-200 except last week when it cost $350 to replace the spark plugs and wiring.   Has 85,000 miles on it and three months ago, it died due to a failed fuel pump. Cost $350 to replace that. Now the gas gauge has died and the rubber tube for the gas filler is cracked. That's $450 for the tube replacement and $200 for the fuel gauge. Talked to two Ford (Mazda) dealers and one independent. All three stated replacing the fuel pump would not have caused the gauge or tube to break - "old age" did it.    Sell it before you get 50,000 miles on it.

The Ranger has been compared for years to the Tacoma for reliability. One bad B2300, B3000 or B4000 does not a bad series make. Mine is the 4.0L by the way.

Replying to: carolinabob (Apr 30, 2008 12:08 pm) On my 91 Mazda it looked like my gas tank was leaking so had them put a new one in,,but it wasn't the gas tank it was a rusted filler tube.They had to go to an auto wrecker to get a replacment,,and my gas gauge doen't work right so make sure I refill every 300 KLM.Still haven't got the 500 KLM put on the new motor before it's due for an oil change but it's close.When driving can feel the tightness of the new motor and clutch and it feels very nice.Will be fixing the few rust spots on the door soon as the warmer weather gets here.Am looking for an after market checkered rear bumper for it but it's next to imposible to find here in the Vancouver area.Even though it cost a bundle to get it up to snuff,,I'm glad I had the work done,,it's a great little truck.

I may purchase one of these with automatic. Any comments from owners on likes or dislikes on this model?

#728 of 747 Mazda B3000 FFV by ron03 Jun 17, 2008 (5:59 am)
Hello,   I have a 2000 Mazda B3000 truck and the gas flap says that it may be able to use ethanol(E85) fuel, but that I should look at the users manual for details. The users manual says that some models are Flex Fuel Vehicles (FFV). Does anybody know how I can tell for sure if my truck is a FFV. Thank you.

#729 of 747 Vacuum line NIGHTMARE by truckdriftin Jun 27, 2008 (9:12 pm)
I have a 88 B2200. I am live in virginia where we have a state inspection, but i already have one for this year. I am tryin to get as much stuff off of the motor like the a/c compressor,finder wells, and pretty much everything i can get rid of to lose weight. I have taken the crazy stuff that is attached to the air cleaner and put a 4" chrome filter on . I am really tryin to get rid of some of the vacuum lines b/c honestly it looks like spaghetti. If anyone knows which vacuum lines that really aren't necessary for the truck to still run ok. The truck is going to be used for drifting. On a track not the street Im crazy not retarded. But seriously if anyone can help me it would be great. Thanks for your time. TRUCKDRIFTER

Replying to: ron03 (Jun 17, 2008 5:59 am) As far as i know all vehicles that run off of ethanol have a tree leaf emblem on the front fenders. Also if you call a parts store and ask them for a fuel filter and they would be able to tell you which VIN digit tells you if it does. I hope this works for you GOOD LUCK TRUCKDRIFTER

Replying to: ron03 (Jun 17, 2008 5:59 am) If the Gas Flap says you can, you can. That is exactly where they put the minimum octane requirement information for you. Fill with confidence and put that corn oil in there!
