More than likely the slides are corroded. They have a funky chrome plated slide setup. Once the chrome wears/corrodes off, they like to hang up. Try disassembling the system and cleaning/lubricating the slides. Rhese trucks seeb to absorb moisture in the brake system over the years causing the front calipers to fail. I've owned 4 of these trucks (1982-1984) and have had problems with the calipers on 3 of them. I would suggest changing the front calipers and bleeding the brake fluid of the entire brake system. If it is a manual transmission I would suggest changing the fluid in that sytem as well. They both use DOT 3 brake fluid. If you ever have any questions or need any parts for this truck, my email is ImDrunkOrUrCute@sbcglobal.net. Hope this helps. -- Chris
The front and rear brakes are both made of ceramic. i bought front and rear brakes on eBay for $80 total.
#1 is front cylinder, distributor rotates clockwise, firing order is 1342, timing is 6 btdc
it either has front disc brakes and rear drum or it has front and rear disc bakes. look for a flat disc in the front and back - those are front and rear disc brakes-they take pads. The drum brakes take shoes.
Answer:My resources show that the fuel pump for the 1984 Mazda B2000 is an in-line electric type, mounted near the gas tank (outside of the tank, NOT inside). Check on top of driver frame rail above the front leaf spring eye.
Front or rear? Drums rear?
$45.00 at auto zone for rear and 60.00 for front.
Check the wheel bearings and the front brakes for wear. These are the most common places that cause the roar.
On an 86-89 B2000 the thermostat is near the front of the engine in between the alternator and upper timing cover. Follow the upper radiator hose towards the engine and you will see a small housing with two 12 mm fasteners. Behind it is the thermostat. Mazdatrucking.com has tech info and diagrams which may help.
I just paid $250 for brake pads and for them to refinish the rotars on the front only. This was at a Meineke in Philadelphia
Front pads (disc brakes) Rear shoes (drum brakes)
Contaminated fluid? Frozen calipers?
lost the spring for brake pad
