New to Truck Forum.

I'm new to Truck Forum, but I have 4 B2200's I have 2 1989, 1 1990, 1 1991 Cab Plus.

My 1990 is the oldest I have owned. I've had her since 2004, and have personally logged just under 100,000 kilometers. Total mileage on this truck, is 467,092 km (or 290,180 mi). The engine is the original block, the only thing I have replaced is the water pump, and timing chain. I have been running 15w40 with Lucas since the day I bought it.

1st 1989 (red) supposedly had a rebuilt engine, but as I was driving to work one day I popped the timing belt. I really dont know a heck of alot about this truck. She is primer red (needs a paint job) reg cab/box.

2nd 1989 is a basket case, engine is in box in pieces, is going to be rebuilt in the spring with 12:1 compression, and get setup to run 100% pure ethanol.

1991 Cab Plus was bought 8 weeks ago for $300, 3 weeks ago I sold the canopy for $300. I had the truck up to replace the rotors (assumed 1 was warped) rotors are fine, passenger caliper is seized, but the 3' rust hole under drivers side has made me decide to turn this truck into a parts truck.

I have been working on B2200's since 2002 as my Ex owns a 1988 Cab Plus, and I did all the work on her truck.

Welcome to the club.... that is quite the collection of "B" series Mazda trucks. I also own one. Mine is a 1998 B3000, designed and built after Ford bought out the rights, so unfortunately, mine is identical to the ranger. But no complaints. anyways, welcome.

Actually everything about your B3000 is the Ford Ranger. It was a sad day when Ford bought majority share in Mazda.

This is true for about 90% of it. In replacing parts, there are a few things that are legitimately Mazda.... and yeah, it does stink... But it is a decent little ride for what it is.

When you get 300,000 miles on it and it is still running lemme know My 90 Mazda is 10,000 short of that mark My Milestone in Canada is 1/2 a million kilometers.
