to add, make sure u plan to do the timing belt change... my dad's 89 sidekick <same thing> just broke 1 last year...screwed up the cyl head since it's an interference engine...

side note: any1 here knows of a cheap rebuilt cyl head?

so far i have put 60k on mine and the most trouble i have had is my mass air flow sensor needed cleaning although lately i have been haveing a stalling problem but i have some ideas as to what that is (egr valve)

ok this is one awesome suv! fun to drive. and i drive a mustang so if i say something is fun to drive it's gotta be.

i also got parts of the frame wirebrushed, primed and painted to try to deter rust.

here's a few pics...

Ok, what is the best way to fix this? weld a piece a metal over it?

also the soft top has some of the stitching coming undone. how do i fix this? the best thing i can think of is some sorta glue. dunno what would stick. thanx

looks very clean. i like the pic with the stang and the tracker.. i might get one sometime of my geo next to my camaro, but i have one in the intro thread of my car, the tracker and my grandpa's truck if you wanna check it out.

check your coolant hoses i just had one blow today that goes from the back of the engine to the heater i only have 134k just a helpful precaution

96MustangGT · #22 10-02-2005, 01:44 AM

sorry i couldnt resist that

i do have a question though does anyone know of a good clutch cable (brand) to buy when mine broke i went after market and that one broke within a year and im afraid my other one is going to follow soon. any suggestions? also any real good parts sites for performance upgrades i checked out the ones posted a couple weeks ago but they were pretty much crap from what i saw.

about the clutch cable, i know what you are talking about. I broke one right after i bought it 6 years ago, then i have replaced it about every year since then. Each time i changed brand. I did find though that the first mount that holds the cable in the engine compartment is too high for aftermarkets, it kind of binds them up, Try to drop that mount down. trust me it makes a world of difference.

Ok now what i really wanted to say. You got a steel. that tracker looks great, and i would love a tracker with so few miles on it, and for only 2k. WOW. I spent 4 on mine 6 years ago, it is a 94, but the good news for all you tracker owners. I have 219000 miles on it. Yes you read that right, I have nearly a quarter of a million miles on it, and it just got off a 1900 mile move, and a 1200 mile evacuation from rita.

That shock, that is exacly how mine looks, looked like that since I bought, not any problems from it.

Have fun with it, and it will love the snow.

i agree and thanks for the tip

96MustangGT · #30 10-15-2005, 09:54 PM

219000 miles? thats awesome! and it's nice to know that shock should be fine as is.

I can't wait for the snow. i've already taken it around a field, in 4x4 wen't right through all the mud. lotta fun
