The slave cylinder and master cylinder had to be replaced at about 148,000 miles; however, they are rather inexpensive.
Check engine light stays on.
The throw out bearing needed replacing at 155,000 miles, so I decided to replace the clutch while I had the transmission pulled away from the engine.
Bench seat has bad wearing on driver side.
The choke sticks at warm up and causes the truck to use more gas than normal; however, I'm going to replace it with a manual choke very soon... that will solve that problem.
I really enjoy having this truck. It is very reliable, and a hard worker. I purchased my truck from a college girl for $1,000. With now over 156,000 miles on it, it has been a very, very reliable truck.
My only complaint is that it is slow; however, that can be solved with a little aftermarket parts and just plain old tinkering.
Check engine light very simple to turn off. Under the dash, you can switch two wires and it will turn off, but designed to turn back on after another 60K miles or so as a reminder. Consult the Chilton books.
I just tried switching the wires and it worked great!! I have 140,000 miles on my 89 B2200, when it flipped 140,000 miles the check engine light came on... pissed me off... so I went and replaced my O2 smog stuff, spark plugs & wires, had my timing timed, carb adjusted, and cap/router replaced... light still stayed on... thanks for the tip, the light @ night was starting to bother me...
Can someone specifically comment on which two wires to switch in order to reset the "timing belt" dash light?
On the driverside underneath the dash theres 2 wires, one will be plugged in one not, ones supposed to be green, the other brown, just unplug the one plugged in and switch it with the one that wasnt plugged in.
This is very easy, I reset mine on my 1987 B2200 by simply removing the Negative Battery Cable for 4 Hours.
