1984 Mazda B2000 STE review from North America
"Good basic work truck transportation!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter 04
Couple fuel pumps 05 & 07
Rebuilt Clutch Master and Slave cylinder several times, my fault (I ride the clutch)
General comments?
Bought truck from an old guy who let it set for years.
Had to adjust the Valves because of a bad tick, quited right down after adjustment. Truck runs a little rough, but is very trustworthy. I Love it because I can repair almost everything that goes wrong with the help of the Haynes Manuel. Fair gas mileage 18-20 MPG. Hauls every thing I put in it with no trouble. Leaks inside every time it rains, needs paint and front end is rusty, but wouldn't have it any other way! All in all it's the best $1000 bucks I ever invested! I'll drive it till the wheels fall off which won't be for a long time yet! My dog loves the little swing out wing windows up front!
