1986 Mazda B2000 review from North America
"The army tank of trucks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Master cylinder.
Blown head gasket.
Thermostat.
General comments?
This is one hell of a little truck. This truck has been through more than any of my other vehicles, and still continues to take a beating and not show any battle scars.
Around 125,00 miles a radiator hose blew while my friend was driving, and for some reason he still drove it back to my house, so I had to replace a head gasket.
Also the master cylinder seemed to rust from the back, and I lost my ability to stop one day LOL. Other than that, I recommend this truck to any driver, young or old alike. It's a very cheap truck to drive, and although parts are relatively hard to find, the chances of needing to replace anything major is pretty rare. This truck rocks.
