#1568 of 1771 Re: 2002 Tracker 4wd automatic hubs will not engage [molly090406] by siberia Feb 23, 2007 (3:57 pm)
Replying to: molly090406 (Feb 23, 2007 5:01 am) I was afraid you would ask that.   Under Suzuki Vitara (2002) I found the category "Air Pump" but the description of the item that turned up was "VACUUM PUMP FOR 440".   I was thinking you might search for front differential for your year and model and that would tell you if the yard had a vehicle. Then call and ask about the pump. They might not know the pump exists - I didn't, until I read it here. Replies to this message: arkainzeye (Feb 23, 2007 4:18 pm) siberia (Feb 23, 2007 4:27 pm)

Replying to: siberia (Feb 23, 2007 3:57 pm) if your able to look at a part diagram i think what your looking for from what ive read it located on the front bumper. there is a pump/vacuum that activates the 4x4. Replies to this message: siberia (Feb 23, 2007 4:27 pm)

Replying to: arkainzeye (Feb 23, 2007 4:18 pm) Well, maybe the vacuum pump that turned up is the correct part.
#1571 of 1771 automatic to manual hubs by whitetracker Feb 24, 2007 (8:42 pm)
Hi guys,This is my first GM product in 10 years.I took a few years off to try Fords.The automatic hubs on the Ranger,Bronco II and Explorers have given me a large fear of automatic hubs.I got chills when I saw them on my '98 tracker,but I bought it anyway.I was wondering if they are reliable or not and if not how hard are they to change to change manual or is it even possible???
#1572 of 1771 a/c belt by mhall1 Feb 24, 2007 (9:20 pm)
I'm trting to replace the belts on my 97 Tracker 4wd. I can't locate the stationary bolt (as opposed to the adjusting bolt) on the a/c. The adjusting bolt is right in front but I can't see the other bolt. Any help where it might be? Thanks, Mike Replies to this message: snichol (Mar 08, 2007 9:36 am)
#1573 of 1771 I Just broke the Timing Chain on My 2001 Tracker 2.0L 4 cyl. Engine... by snichol Mar 08, 2007 (9:27 am)
Hi, I have a 2001 4 door tracker with the 2.0L Engine (127 hp), automatic transmission w/overdrive, 2 wheel drive. I have high milage on it, over 207,000 miles! It has been a Very Dependable vehicle, except for the AC compressor going out twice. (That's another question for later!) Monday, the timing chain broke all of a sudden when I stopped. It won't start at all. I have been told by a local mechanic that they are a bear to find parts for; the parts are very expensive and he is very reluctant to work on it. He said that the engine is gone, since the timing chain broke, it will have bent all the valves and ruined the engine. Is this true? Is it cheaper to replace the engine, or overhaul it, or Junk the car? With my milage this high, I would like to overhaul the engine and go another 200,000 miles! (or replace it with a rebuilt/Used Engine) I'm told it's too expensive to buy parts for and I can't seem to find an engine replacements locally, new or used. I would appreciate anyone's suggestions, recommendations on what course of action I should take? (I am happy with the Tracker and would like to continue driving it.) Any sources on engines, rebuilt, or otherwise? I am in the Houston, Texas area. Thanks, Sam Nicholson    SNichol Replies to this message: siberia (Mar 08, 2007 6:42 pm) trakronr (Mar 15, 2007 4:31 pm) snichol (Mar 16, 2007 7:46 am) trakronr (Mar 16, 2007 8:50 am) and 3 more... arkainzeye (Mar 16, 2007 4:29 pm)
#1574 of 1771 Re: a/c belt [mhall1] by snichol Mar 08, 2007 (9:36 am)
Replying to: mhall1 (Feb 24, 2007 9:20 pm) On my 2001, the tensioner is on the front just under the top pulley. By putting a wrench on that tensioner bolt and a small pipe on the wrench for leverage, the tensioner can be pushed backed far enough that the belts can be removed/replaced. I discovered this by accident when trying to replace the main belt on my 2001. I don't know if it's the same, but try it.   I'm not so lucky, my timing chain just broke. (See my post) Thanks, SNichol

Replying to: snichol (Mar 08, 2007 9:27 am) it will have bent all the valves and ruined the engine. Is this true?   Probably, but not necessarily. Sometimes if the valves are hitting the pistons the starter will not turn the engine over. If the valves are bent allowing the engine to turn with the starter there might be some noise when the pistons hit giving you an indication. Of course, turning the engine over with the starter might do more damage - if that's possible.   I just posted this site a few messages back:   http://www.car-part.com/   When I searched for 2.0 L Suzuki engines several pages of engines came up ranging from $2,000 down to $900 - some with low mileage.
#1576 of 1771 Re: 2002 Tracker 4wd automatic hubs will not engage [scotter] by davedon Mar 10, 2007 (7:43 am)
Replying to: scotter (Feb 05, 2007 6:31 am) Hi Scotter, I am having the same problem with a 2002 Tracker. It acts up when the weather is cold, when things warm up the trouble clears like magic. I had it in to the dealer and they said they didn't believe it was cold weather related but they would put a new air pump on for $565 plus tax plus labour, plus, plus, plus!! I think there must be water someplace in the pump or valving. Can that pump be disassembled, dried, sealed and reinstalled if nothing else is broken? If not I think I'll avoid GM like the plague and check with the Suzuki dealer for a cheaper alternative and do the work myself.

Replying to: davedon (Mar 10, 2007 7:43 am) You should have visited the Suzuki dealer first and bought the part and installed it yourself. First of all, GM will charge you $300+ more for the same part you can buy at Suzuki. I believe it's a fairly easy job...it's making sure you have the inlet/outlet hoses hooked up right to the pump.   I too have the same problem; when it gets cold, it won't engage in 4WD. I tried telling different mechanics about it...the answer I got was; "It has to sit on the level with the wheels headed straight in order for it to engage". That's a bunch of hogwash, I tried it every which way to Sunday and it wouldn't engage.
