1989 Mazda B2600 i review from North America
"A good all around truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Right off the bat I needed a new battery.
Radiator hose blew.
Front brakes went.
Clutch went.
General comments?
This truck is especially good on gas considering it's a 4x4 ext cab 5 speed.
The ride is a bit harsh due to the worn suspension components. It starts up right away in minus 35 degree Celcius weather. It is a little rusty in places, but that's to be expected on an old truck like that.
I will be putting in a mazda 4.0L V6 engine, and raising the truck up to put on some mudders. My pipe dream for this truck is to make it a convertible and have it Crew Cab style with 4 doors like the Ford SuperCrew.
