#1764 of 1773 Re: scheele [scheele] by inbox Sep 20, 2009 (1:48 pm)
Replying to: scheele (Jun 12, 1999 11:13 pm) Anyone who has had trouble driving a Tracker is simply a bad driver. I'm from the North (read: snow is normal, not evil) and enjoyed all my Tracker time. I drove through "Cat3 snow emergency" in the hills of West Virginia as easily as driving through normal snow. When snow would be so deep in Ohio, people were getting stuck in the middle of streets, I would drive around town towing larger cars anywhere they needed (free, of course - because we need to be neighbors). Learn to drive in bad conditions and you will have a great time while being the safest car out there. *** DON'T get the cheap tires. Stick with the bigger, factory size. ***
#1765 of 1773 2003 Tracker 4WD Light blinks every 10 seconds by 4wdcamper Oct 03, 2009 (2:28 am)
The 4WD is engaged but the 4WD light blinks about every 10 seconds. I noticed this after finding a small leak at the transfer case drain plug. Is this because of low fluid level? Replies to this message: lorisan (Dec 08, 2009 3:48 pm)

Replying to: george114 (May 25, 2009 1:58 pm) Stay away from that seller. Auto Zone has good batteries mfg by Johnson Controls. I am on my second Tracker (1999) now. Basically if it will fit the battery tray and has conventional post, it will work. Most RELIABLE STORES will sell you the correct battery for somewhere between $60 and $90, depending on the warranty and amp power you want.   PS: I have never worked for Auto Zone and have no connection other than as a customer
#1767 of 1773 Re: are the 3 motor mounts tha same??? chevrolet tracker 2000 [luisfer] by billp5 Oct 23, 2009 (5:52 am)
Replying to: luisfer (Oct 23, 2008 4:56 pm) NO. At least not for the 1999 two door.   Do an on line search at a parts house, Auto Zone, Advanced, Rock auto parts, etc.,   I believe you will find that the right and left are identical. There is a different mount for the transmission, depending on Auto or Manual.   Suggest you put the vehicle on jack stands and place a wood block on the oil pan. Gently raise it to see which (or all) mount is bad.
#1768 of 1773 4WD Light Blinking by steveh1155 Nov 22, 2009 (11:17 am)
I know this problem has been discussed before, but I couldn't find a definitive answer for my particular problem. I have a '99 2.0L 4wd & the 4wd light has begun blinking off & on. I can shift into 4wd and the front wheels engage just fine, but I can hear the pump cycle on & off constantly. I followed the rubber air line to where it enters the front differential from the pump & pinched it off at that point and, the pump shuts off and stays off - indicating to me that the pump is able to maintain pressure (or vacuum maybe), so...does this mean I'm in for an expensive rebuild of my front diff? I put sealer on the fill holes thinking maybe that was leaking air - no luck. Can anybody else think of any other reason this pump might constantly cycle on & off? Thanks!
#1769 of 1773 Viberation at idle speed when auto trans put in gear by billp5 Dec 04, 2009 (9:23 am)
Motor smooth when in neutral. Idle around 850-900 RPM no vibration. When shifted into gear, R or D sitting still it vibrates. I have put it on jacks and gently jacked both the motor and trans. Mounts look fine, no cracks or torn places. Have checked the vacuum an within correct range. Check for vacuum line leaks with throttle body cleaner, no change. Removed and thoroughly cleaned throttle body, slight improvement but NOT fixed.   Anyone have ANY suggestions??   Thanks,   Bill

My 1990 tracker has minimal heat, The thermostat and gauge work normally, flushed the heater core and was clean and had good flow, but heat is barely enough on a cold day, fan works well, Replies to this message: billp5 (Dec 05, 2009 8:59 am)
#1771 of 1773 Re: 1990 tracker heater [4x4guy1] by billp5 Dec 05, 2009 (8:59 am)
Replying to: 4x4guy1 (Dec 05, 2009 8:44 am) Can you find the valve that actually turns the hot water from the radiator into the heat circuit? If you can find try flushing only this valve. I had this problem on a different brand vehicles years ago. Took me forever to find it. The valve would turn off and on but was completely stopped up. If you flushed from where the hose is connected to the hot water on the block back through the hose that returns the water from the heater to the block/radiator, this will not help.   Good luck.
#1772 of 1773 Re: 2003 Tracker 4WD Light blinks every 10 seconds [4wdcamper] by lorisan Dec 08, 2009 (3:48 pm)
Replying to: 4wdcamper (Oct 03, 2009 2:28 am) this is a well known issue on the Tracker. I just got done replacing mine tonite (about 20 minutes). The part is an electronic part that is located inside the front passenger side bumper. It is secured by two 12mm bolts, has two vacuum lines and and electronic connector. It took care of part of the problem I have (the blinking, and not going into 4WH Drive. The part is available from ( and about $100 cheaper) from a Suzuki dealer rather than a Chevy dealer.
#1773 of 1773 tracker 4wh drive pull to right by lorisan Dec 08, 2009 (4:00 pm)
I have a 2000 MY 4WD Tracker. This one has me going. After about 6 miles in 4WD, the vehilce will start pulling to the right. The only way to get it to quit is to throw it into reverse, move about 5 ft and then go forward in 2WD. I replaced the electronic unit that is located in the front bumper, this took care of the blinking light and the intermittent condition of non-engagement of 4WD, but this pulling condition still exists. I previously had a front axle seal leak, that is now fixed. Could it be possible that I have a bad hub?
