Found a truck... good deal?

[knucksfirst]

I found this 1994 Mazda B4000 4x4 extended cab, only has 180,000kms Needs new valve cover gasket, something wrong with the 4x4 its engages after clicking a few times, apparently its got something to do with the grease in the hub or something??? any ideas? Its got new winter, tires not bad looking truck hes only asking $850 think its a good deal???

id say yes! it could be your 4x4 module. thats what mine does and people have told me thats what i need. the inside looks really good id get it them gaskets wouldnt be much an isnt that hard to install

I'd say it's worth it.

Get rid of the auto hubs and get some manual ones. Much more reliable, and cheaper too.

What vehicle has the manual hubs?? Cause I take alot of trips to the old scrap yard... and if I knew what vehicle to take it off of is it easy to take it off?? and install?

Lol I know nothing about what that problem could be, but that price seems pretty good regarless. Good luck with it if you do decide to buy it

Is that sarcasm?? I havent owned a 4x4 yet which is why Im so anxious to be selling my 97 b4000 2wd and buy this 4x4 1994. I just dont want to have to throw a bunch of money at it for the 4x4 to work....

oh sorry got one more question.... which parts can I switch over to this truck from mine....I kinda have alot of newer parts on my 97 4.0 that I would like to put on this one like maybe the alternator, rotors, coil pack, stuff of that sort... just wondering... probly be better to get a list of things that wouldnt fit or work. Anyone know??

 

[88_Eddie]

nope....it's exactly what i would do, but that's cause i'm a hurricanes fan.

you permanently fix the 4wd for $200 and never have to worry about it, that's $100 for a manual t-case and $90 for manual hubs.

you'd have a good 4x4 for a grand

I dont even mind keeping the push button 4x4 just as long as it works and I dont have to pay alot to fix it Im kinda low on money right now. Ill get into reading more as to what the problem could be with the push button, the guy was saying the grease would have to be changed because it was sticking... i didnt understand.

$850, can't really go wrong.
