Re: a/c problem 2000 2.0L 4 door 4wd tracker [siberia]
Written by: molly090406 on Mar 28, 2007 4:15:05 AM
Is the "freon" that you mention R134a? I noticed when I tried to put in a can of R134a, the seal around the intake hose didn't seal well. I'm about 2 minutes from getting rid of the 2002 Chevy Tracker and getting something more reliable.

Re: I Just broke the Timing Chain on My 2001 Tracker 2.0L 4 cyl. Engine... [snichol]
Written by: trakronr on Mar 15, 2007 5:31:45 PM
FYI, I have been buying timing parts for my 2000 2.0L 4wd tracker which has 134K miles. So far the majority has been special order from Chevy dealership. I ended up ordering the lower/lge timing chain from Auto Zone. I have invested around $400 just in the timing parts and have only replaced about half of them. I had a small sprocket lose a couple teeth, the upper chain guide broke ... Read More

Re: 2000 Chevy Tracker Engine Noise? [trakronr]
Written by: siberia on Mar 14, 2007 4:41:32 AM
Hi Trakronr, Just a couple of points: It is premature to assume that the engine is damaged because some metal got loose in the oil. The screen on the oil pickup should stop pieces from getting picked up by the oil pump and the oil filter should catch the rest. You might be on the right track with the timing chain. Centrifugal force and load might be causing the chain to ... Read More

Written by: trakronr on Mar 13, 2007 5:48:46 PM
Thanks for the input, but lack of oil was never an issue. Mine was faithfully changed and checked often. I had no oil leaks, so at the most I added less than 1/4 qt between changes. This is my 3rd tracker and have had nothing but good luck with all until now. 3/12/07 is the first day I really got to drive it since we changed the idler sprocket Saturday. Surprisingly ...

Written by: scotter on Mar 12, 2007 5:29:27 AM
Your engine is junk at this point. The noise you originally heard may indeed have been the timing chain sprocket, tentioner etc; but to keep driving for weeks is the issue. I think bits and pieces of metal worked their way through the engine, and destroyed it from the inside. Honestly what amazes me is that after you heard a "horrible racket", you didnt see anything so you kept driving. And ... Read More

2000 Chevy Tracker Engine Noise?
Written by: trakronr on Mar 10, 2007 2:18:56 PM
*I'm sorry this is so long, but I figure more details is better than less. About 6 weeks ago my Tracker made a horrible racket. It sounded like the exhaust fell off and was dragging the ground, but it wasn't. I couldn't find anything wrong so I drove it home. About 4 weeks ago, the oil light started flickering on. Everyone told me that if the engine was rattling that I ... Read More

2000 Tracker 2-dr, 4-wheel drive wheel center caps
Written by: emgeebee on Dec 3, 2006 9:25:21 AM
Two of my wheel caps are ruined and the Chevy dealer wants $60+ each for new ones. I've seen some on Ebay for earlier model Geos and Suzukis for MUCH less. Does anyone know if the caps from pre-1999 Geos and Suzukis will fit my 2000 Tracker? (My plan would be to paint them solid black rather than having the Geo/Suzuki emblem showing). Thanks in advance for your help
