    1993 Mazda Navajo - Mechanic concerns

    Hi JDraper Thank you for the reply! I'm going to get that 2nd opinion. Unfortunately I've got to find another shop. I had really liked the one I was going to but my last couple of experiences with them left me with some concerns. The truck doesn't owe me anything but for a '93 it's in...

    1993 Mazda Navajo - Mechanic concerns

    Thanks for all your responses, this is exactly what I am looking for. I'm going to get a 2nd opinion. The mechanic basically told me he thought it was a decision point as to whether or not to put more money into the vehicle. The coolant loss problem has been there for years. I have long...

    1993 Mazda Navajo - Mechanic concerns

    Thank you kit352, The price I was quoted blew me out of the water. Right now I think that I might get a 2nd opinion, though ultimately I'm probably going to sell it, hopefully to a mechanic that can do the work themself. BTW have you know if those additive/sealants work? Thanks, DJ

    1993 Mazda Navajo - Mechanic concerns

    Hi Wood1, Thank you for your reply. I thought that the price was quite high. The engine runs very strong and well. One of the reasons I hate to part with it. While it doesn't make sense, maybe they just didn't want to work on it. I've been driving it every day for the pat month and a...

    1993 Mazda Navajo - Mechanic concerns

    Hi Everyone, This is the first time that I have posted on the site in a while and I hope that some of you would be good enough to share your expertise with me. I have a 1993 Mazda Navajo with approx. 122,000 miles on it. I purchased it in 2000. I think that it is in pretty decent shape...

    1993 Mazda Navajo Rear Wiper Motor

    I've been looking for a rear wiper motor for my '93 Navajo. I have prices anywhere form $100.00 to $279.00(Mazda Dealership) for the motor. I would like to find out if the rear wiper motors from the same year explorer would be interchangeable with the Navajo? I can get a used one for about...

    4wd transfer motor and Rear wiper

    Hi everyone, I hope that some of you might have some experience that you might be willing to share with me. I had my truck in the shop today to have my 4wd drive looked at (I knew it was a transfer motor and suggested this to them at the shop) and the vehicle inspected. The prices they...

    Gas Mileage

    I've always heard that the mileage would improve after the break in period, but since I'm mechanically challenged...I couldn't prove it.

    Gas Mileage

    Haa!!!! No, just a v6....I'm hoping I can increase that to 25....we'll see.

    Gas Mileage

    I just got 22 on hwy driving this morning. Kept cruise on 65mph. I just had ravin exhaust system put on, and am still evaluating. I need to do plug/wires and pcv along with a KKM filter, all of which I hope will improve the mileage.

    Air Intake for 1993 Mazda Navajo

    Thank you for the feedback. I hope the sound is good, but I'm mainly looking to improve the performance of the engine. I'm probably going with Gibson.

    Air Intake for 1993 Mazda Navajo

    Great! Thank you. I will do that. As long as I'm putting the mod on, I just want to get the biggest bang for my buck. I noticed that you have a flowmaster catback on your '93. How do you like it? Did you notice a difference in performance/mileage? I think that I'm going to go with...

    Air Intake for 1993 Mazda Navajo

    Well, like my Dad always used to say...."Looks aren't everything...but they sure do help!!! When you installed your KKM did you go with the stock tube or get a custom. I don't mind a couple of extra $$, because with my mileage, I think that the only direction I can go(knock on wooda) is up.

    Air Intake for 1993 Mazda Navajo

    BTW, does the kit come with a pipe and how is installation?

    Air Intake for 1993 Mazda Navajo

    Thank you for the info! I was afraid of that...but I have heard good things about KKM. So I think that's the one I'll go with. I ran into the same problem catback systems as magnaflow doesn't make one fo that year either(going with gibson) Thank you again.

    Air Intake for 1993 Mazda Navajo

    Actually this is probably a 2 part question. I am looking to put a non-stock air intack on my '93 Navajo. Is KKM the best one to use or is there another? K&N has an air intake system, but not for a 1993 model year. Are there others available? I love my Navajo, but am trying to improve...
