Ford extended the Ranger to 2011. New Ranger will be introduced at that time. It will the global design Ranger and not unique to US/Canada. Mazda has no plans at this time to sell the new version. The compact truck market will have to significantly improve for Mazda to consider a truck offering.

| I bought this truck cause really it was a steal.500.00 with tons of new parts and brand new panther rims with sales reciept(1380.00 not including the new rubber).Theproblem is with the transmission.They replaced the clutch and evidently while doing so they let the gear oil drain and,didn't bother refilling it.Yeah,it only has 5th and a very very weak reverse.What I was wondering is,are their any other trannys that will bolt up to this.The engine is of course 2.2 but,I'm sure if it's a 92 engine cause it is fuel injected and every book I have found says that is impossible,they didn't make them till a year or two later.Even the owners manual shows a carb.And when I pulled the tranny out it did seem to be about an 1-1 1/2 shorther than it should of been.I say this because you can claerly see where the carrier bearing bracket was at one time and thats how far off it is now.So if you can make any sense out of my ramblin can you give me some advise?I would greatly appreciate it. | |

I purchased my 1986/1987 B2000 pick-up about a month ago for $600.00 So, far I've had to get new brakes and a couple of other things done to it which cost  $500 total. But the truck runs great. It can really take all of the running around I do in it. The only problem is that it does not have the "out of gas warning light" that comes with the newer cars; so, I ran out of gas the other day and when after I finally got the tank filled up again, the car stalls out. Now it keeps stalling if I idle in it for more than 5 seconds. It's a shame because I REALLY like that little truck. Most mechanics won't even bother working on it because it is so old and they just don't know that much about it. I believe that once an older car runs out of gas, you have to fill up the gas tank and add gas to the carburetor in order to get it running again, but since I don't know that much about cars, I can't add the gas to the carburetor myself and the mechanics just tell me that you only need to add gas to the carburetor if it is a new car that is coming off of the lot. Anyway, I'd really appreciate some suggestions you might have.

| I have a 1994 mazda b4000, how do you get the plastic trim off around the wheel wells? | |
| I own a 1999 B2500 p/u. It's almost got 100k on the chase and a remanufactured short block engine with about 40-45k on it. I recently had my truck inspected and noticed my trans. fluid is black. My truck takes Dexron II or III ATF. I'm contemplating getting a flush, fluid, and filter replacement because I only plan on having the truck another 2 years at the most. I heard that flushing the trans. may cause damage in the future due to the chemicals they use to clean it can break up dirt and metal particals that will remain and can get into other areas. Has anyone heard about this? I'm not noticing any real problems with the transmission, but after having to put a rebuilt engine block in a few years back, everything makes me nervous, so I feel like I should at least replace the fluid and filter. What's a fair price to have that done, by the way? Any feedback or suggestions is very much appreciated. | |
