1989 Mazda B2200 Cab Plus review from North America
"Truck has a smooth ride when working properly, but when it breaks, there goes your wallet."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew at 120,000.
Clutch at 140,000.
Motor, radiator, heater core, and carburetor at 180,000.
Head blew again (i hope just gasket) in shop now 10/04/2005 at 225,000.
Rear end at 200,000.
General comments?
I am kinda glad I got the truck, but it's sucking up my money for repairs. I now have a bad back so I cannot do the repairs myself anymore.
Excellent truck for booming stereo's!!!
I have repaired or replaced majority of truck parts except transmission (which I have done clutch with accessories).
