So far the only thing we can think of is the computer which we are learning about now. But after 359000 miles we figure something must go wrong. Have had a awful time trying to fix it, learning about the computer is our last hope.
A wonderful "FAMILY" truck when we needed it most. Hoping to get it going again. We need it. Went through snow when no big fancy 4x4 would go. Goes where ever you need to go, just ask nicely.
In its younger days speed shifting was nice, quick take offs and smooth easy rides. A wonderful little truck till ford took it over.
If I am not mistaken Ford started to take over Mazda in the 80's. Which means it might be part Ford.
The VIN starts with a "J" then it's imported from Japan.
Up until 1993 all Mazda trucks were built there and sent here. Starting in 1994, Ford took over production of the Mazda trucks here.
Elsewhere in the world, Mazda builds the trucks still and some get Ford logos put on them...
Fords and Mazdas here are exactly the same. Fords and Mazdas internationally are the same. but the International and North American versions are completely different.
