1992 Mazda B2600 SE-5 review from North America
"Does what I need it to"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have replaced the clutch master & slave cylinders three times.
O2 sensor at 90000 miles.
Replaced the clutch at 100000 miles.
Valve cover gasket at 100000 miles.
Complete brake job, shocks & front wheel bearings at 110000 miles.
Radiator & water pump at 95000 miles. Plastic upper tank on radiator cracked.
Replaced rear wheel bearings & seals At 125000 miles.
General comments?
The truck has been a good performer overall.
I have done a lot of hauling with it. It has handled 1000 lbs. pretty well.
The truck does use some oil. There is no apparent oil leak or smoke, but I have to add 1/2 quart every two weeks.
The gas mileage is less than what I expected. It gets around 18 mpg city, 21 mpg highway.
This is a good basic truck.
