Hello Everyone,

This is my 1st post.

I have a 1997 Mazda b2300, extended cab SE model with 174,000 miles that I have owned since new. The truck has been great and has exceeded my expectations from when I first bought it. It has never broken down and had only 1 warranty issue, thermostat, at 25,000 miles. Other than that I replaced the drive shaft carrier bearing and charcoal canister at 130,000 and clutch at 110,000. Timing belts at 70,000 and 140,000, water pump at 140,000 which were preventative maintenance. Front brakes at 140,000!

In the future I will need to fix an exhaust leak, replace shocks and probably some other suspension/steering items and tune up items.

I look forward to learning from all of you as I will need advise on maintenance items and how to's.
