weird. i didnt have to do that for mine.. that's makes me think. i wonder what kind i have. i'll have to take a trip outside real quick to see. you have me thinking now.. lol ok it is called a BugFlector II . my BF had the holes already made for it. btw how much do chevy mud flaps costs? i don't know because mine came with my tracker. I bought a USED tracker and the person(s) who owned it b4 me kinda had some options on it. it is a 1999 and has a few options like the 2.0 engine which BACK THEN was a option, because they came standard with the joke of a engine (1.6litre 97Hp) then it has some steel security thing behind the seat so that no one can break into my very little "trunk"
btw it is a 2dr. then let me see it has the alum wheels, a/c & 4-speed auto transmission, NO cruise Control which bums me out cause i am a cruise control junkie. i already looked into having chevy install it. they said it would be $350. so i might wait on that one, because even though i love my cruise control, i really dont drive it on highways to justify the expense. I took off the tires it had on it. the last person who owned it put some nice Kelly tires on it. but they were all-season, and was good in the dirt but NOT in the mud. so i put some BFGOODRICH all-terrain AT's on it and i put the next size up 215/75/15. it really gives the tracker a mean look, along with killer traction. i had no idea how much of a difference tires could make. this will give you an idea. b4 when i took my track off-road, i had to put it in 4x4 to climb certain hills, i was actually able to climb the same hill at the same exact spot in 2 wheel drive! and areas where i WASNOT able to climb in 4x4 b4 i was able to climb right up it with no wheel spin or anything. it climbed it like it was on concret.
As to the cruise control, I use it constantly. Just made a trip from Melboune Beach to Ormond Beach {Fla.}and back....220 miles roundtrip...most of which is on Rt.95, and used same constantly.
Happy Motoring,

In regards to your speakers, pay attention to the power of your receiver. Speakers tend to get blown by distortion more than by power. A weak receiver played loudly can distort sound, especially bass, and quickly ruin a set of good speakers. A high power receiver, or an add-on amplifier, will eliminate bass distortion and preserve speakers when operated at reasonable sound levels. I opted for the radio-delete option when I ordered my Tracker and ordered a compatible high power CD/receiver and speakers from Crutchfield.
so i would just go for a new set of speakers Instead of wasting $300-$400 on a NEW cd player only to still have the same exact problem. I had the same problem as you did, so i changed my speakers. "Problem Gone" without having to WASTE hundreds of dollars. the reason i say get new speakers even though the wattage is low on the stock head units, is because the speakers that come from Chevy are pretty much junk. mine were actually starting to "rott". and when the techs at bestbuy saw them. they laughed and said "i cant believe they are still trying to use them type of speakers".
that has mid to high mileage has any good or bad stories to tell, i mean
about repairs, chronic problems etc. the reason i ask is because
consumer reports gave the Chevy tracker a very bad review, and i
think they even put it on their cars to avoid list. I was just wondering
if anyone out there that has some miles under their belt can shred some
light on this subject
Consumers Report {I subscribe to same} always seems to give certain makes a mid to poor rateing. If you will notice....almost all their "Recommended" models are Hondas and Toyotas
all the time.
If you will further notice...it is the 99 and 2000 year Tracker models with the worst rateing
re consumer reports: remember these folks like vehicles that are: #1 comfortable, #2 quiet, #3 good acceleration yet economical, #4 excellent repair history, #5 ergonomical controls. I think the Suzuki/Tracker fails in most of these tests, but, at least in my opinion, this does not make these cars a poor choice. I must agree with CR, though, regarding the '99 and early '00 models with manual transmission. As stated in previous posts, there was a major problem with these trannys.
I am new on this group, and I am looking for information and help.
I'm living in Brownsville Texas, I bought a Chevy Tracker 2002 on 2/14/02, yes my wife's valentine, and on 2/25/02 we called service because something wrong was happening, yeah it was the block after 10 days and less than 600 miles they had to replace the motor or block or what ever they call it because it was broken, something that came from the factory should have a warranty don't you think?
Lets say, If my TV was broken I could take it to Wal-Mart and they are going to take it back and replace it with a new one, that's for sure,they are not going to send it to service an repair it. If this people from Wal-Mart can do that with a cheaper item, I can not believe that my dealer (tipotex) could not change my vehicle. My dealer (tipotex) just wants to repair my tracker but I not agree.
On 3/08/02 we picked it out of tipotex, my wife drove less than 1 mile and we took it back because it started to get acelleration by it self and in the stop light it attempted to turn off, we went with the manager he drove it and he said it was ok, on monday 3/11/02 we took it back to service because of the problem and the revolutions, they fixed and said it was the time or timming, on 3/14/02 we took it back because at 20MPH its going to 3000RPM, and at 50MPH it is going to 1500RPM, i do not know if it is ok, but let me tell you if im park holding the brakes and change gears it jumps and revolutions start to change, P=750RPM, R=400RPM, N=1000RPM, D=1200RPM, 2=250RPM, Its that normal?
Please let my know if you think that I am wrong in my demand, or if you know something that I can do to force them to replace my car, or even better if you know people with the same problem that I can contact.
I will really appreciate your help!

ALSO, has anyone connected a towing hitch on their 2.0 litre tracker? if so 1) how does it look on there. & 2) how was it towing something. I was just thinking of towing something like a little Uhaul trailer. Kinda like one of them mini little guys. nothing crazy.. thanks
if anyone is interested in see what i am talking about then take a look here..

"sorry" i had to say that...
I do wish however that the front part of the roof, I wish that would either come off or retract farther back...
As I look closely to the roof over the front seats it looks to me that you would need to unscrew the top from the arm that is connected to the frame of the roof. I think that is the only way you can put a hard top in it's place.
I also tried local auto part stores {Pep Boys, AutoZone, etc.}...but found none to fit the contour of the LT.
Anyone?????

After checking all the wooddash web sites, I found that this site is the only one that offered the full "molded type" kit for the Chevrloet Tracker and Grand Vitara. A great website to boot.Full price was 207.00 which included the shipping.
I do not work for this company, but do recommend their product if you are interested in a wooddash kit. They are located in Portland,Oregon and the kit is manufacured in Canada. They also have an 800 number.

I can report no problems (unlike my 2000 Dak), it runs well, but is a tad weak on pep.
I am avg 26.5 MPG in all around driving.
No tranny troubles.
Long live the hamster!
they were defective.!! i take my tracker places that maybe i shouldn't. basically i bought it as a fun Off-Road toy. And i have never had any problems with the rims. and i crawl over big rocks and pound through terrain as if i was trying to damage something. and my tracker and been perfect through it all. No problems.
now i do have the aluminium wheels, but still. Don't let them take advantage of you. Toyota did that to my 65 year old mother. she had a electrical problem with her van. and all it was , was a loose connector on a sensor. and they told her she needed a NEW battery, starter etc etc , they basically charged her $980 for a loose connector. and the problems wasn't fix, so we took the van to a little foreign salvage yard garage. And he fixed it in 15 minutes. and charged us $25. Now i'm not saying that your rims ARENT bent. but if they are i doubt it is your fault. and if you do choose to buy new ones. you are buy way way way nicer looking rims AFTERMARKET then chevy could offer you and for probably about 1/4-1/2 the cost of factory too !!! and in most cases look more attractive and bored steel wheels.
