I've been using rangerstation for a few days solid, so I thought I should join.

Hello everyone,

I picked up a 1996 Mazda B2300 2.3L manual (203K miles) this weekend for $350.
I've been poking at it ever since I picked it up.
The rangerstation forums have been my go to place for any information and help.
So thanks in the past and in advance!

Welcome! whats wrong the truck? 350$ is a great deal pending whats wrong with it.

The engine and body work great
The clutch is another issue.

When i bought it the clutch pedal had no resistance. It would just hit the floor.
I pulled out the master cylinder, replaced and bled it, but now my pedal is rock solid.
I can bleed it from the slave, and the pedal sinks, but as soon as I close the bleeder valve it won't budge.
I'm assuming from reading TRS - Slave Cylinder Stuck?? that the slave is seized.
Now I have to find the time to drop the transmission and replace/check the slave.

The guy i bought it from replaced the clutch about 60,000 miles ago but i don't think he replaced the slave.

Other than that and a few minor issues it is a pretty solid truck.
