I hear you Eric money is tight right now but when it comes to things like that I will make money to replace parts like I wrote down because it can cost you more in just in a tow if you break down also the Mazda dealership that I wrote down gives you one good deal on warranty also if you ever do it look to see if the cam seal is leaking because that can cause you tons of problems down the road. Example your water pump is right there so you should just replace it just so that you will know that it's good. I can get in my truck and go anywhere because I know that I have replaced the parts that might go out and my truck is only 16 years old so I would rather be sure than sorry. Yes im knocking on wood.

Hey JeemC, do you know if his motor in that 2200 is a Zero Clearnace motor, so if the timing belt breaks his valves collide with the pistons and bend the valves and possibly break holes in the pistons? Is it even a belt drive engine or is it chain?

that would be a bit$h if that was the case, i really hope its not. im on the lookout for a nice parts truck though, searching the junkyards and craigslist, but no luck yet. ima see if there are any around town i can grab withy no title or something.
