Mazda introduced the B2600 in the mid-1980s as another iteration of its B-series pickup truck line. When it made its debut in 1986, this model offered something new: a 4x4 variant with a carbureted 2.6-liter Mitsubishi-sourced engine for more power and off-road capability. The Mazda B2600 had a larger engine and four-wheel drive while competing trucks only offered one or the other. In 1989, the Mazda B2600i replaced the B2600 by adding Mazda's G6 fuel-injected engine, which significantly improved performance. The change also ushered in new configurations, including both 4x4 and 4x2, although North America only got the former version. The bigger motor made 121 horsepower (90 kW) and 149 lb-ft (202 Nm) of torque here. Australia's figures were up to 92 kW (125 PS) at 4600 rpm for down-under buyers. Visually, you could distinguish these trucks because they featured a unique hood with a bulge down the center to fit around the larger mill. There were also flared fenders, a wider front bumper, and big mudguards on the wheel wells of all four corners on models equipped with four-wheel drive. The Mazda B2600 and B2600i remained part of Mazda's truck lineup until at least its next redesign, indicating they were popular options for buyers looking for compact haulers.
The Mazda B2600 series can be a real headache. Engine compression problems, backfiring, erratic transmission shifts, and braking vibrations have been reported across several of its model years. The 1989 model is notorious for engine troubles that result in no compression and backfiring. This may result from severe internal damage like shoddy timing chains or belts, complications with the valve train, or worn piston rings, all of which require extensive repairs or engine replacement. In models equipped with automatic transmissions, there's an issue with the thermostat not letting the engine reach an optimal operating temperature. Uncommanded shifts into and out of overdrive are caused by this faulty thermostat. Rotating it out should fix any issues. According to reports, the 1991 model is known to vibrate when braking due to warped brake rotors, worn pads, or defective calipers. All fixes need you to be a mechanic who can replace parts correctly.
