1992 Mazda B2600 i SE-5 review from North America
"A good dependable truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I haven't had too many issues with this truck.
I replaced the radiator due to a cracked plastic tank. I found an all metal radiator.
I put a new clutch in it.
I replaced the clutch master & slave cylinders twice. The second one I bought from the dealer. No more Chinese junk after market parts for me.
I did a full brake job & installed new bearings front & rear.
The truck seems to go through plug wires, caps & rotors every year.
The body sits low & over sized tires will rub the front fenders when you hit bumps. I put a 2" body lift on it. The truck looks a lot better & the tires don't rub anymore.
General comments?
I was looking for another S-10 when I found this Mazda for 1800 bucks. With only 82000 miles on it & it being in very good over all condition, I snapped it right up.
Six years & 44000 miles later it still runs great & looks good. I use it as a truck. I haul loads & pull trailers with it.
I have driven it on long out of state trips & I drive it to work most days (my 89 Jeep YJ the other days). I would highly recommend buying one.
