1982 Mazda B2000 review from North America
"24 mpg. with 2000lb. Trailer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing except for a quick lube place putting ATF in my manual transmission, causing me to replace bearing.
General comments?
All new truck makers need to examine the 1982 B2000 engine and make trucks trouble free, and easy to work on.
This truck was made for the long haul, with double roller timing chain.I'm still using same alternator, water pump, gaskets, and the camshaft shows no sign of wear.
Same electric fuel pump, just gas, tires, oil, and filters.
It's a shame the new ford made Mazda's with rubber timing belts.
