2001 Tracker Maintenance
#1
For those playing at home, I have a 2001 Chevy Tracker ZR2.
So it's almost 20 years old and has 125,000 miles.

Since maintenance is supposedly a combination of time and miles driven I asked the shop to do the 15,000 and 30,000 inspection and maintenance.

What ended up being done.
Radiator replacement, shop said it was cracked along the the top.
Need a new tensioner pulley.
Replaced fan blade belt and accessories belt.
Replaced air filter.
Replaced fuel filter.
Transmission fluid replacement.
4x4 differential service.
CV boot split on right front.
Which caused the need for an alignment.

So all of that at the dealer wasn't cheap. In fact, two other items I have considered getting done, have to wait for a couple of months.

Because of the age, I think it might be prudent to replace the motor mounts and fuel pump?

Up until now, it's been about 2.5 years since any significant money has been invested. While not a daily drive, it see's use twice a week (a 50 mile round trip - mostly county road driving).

v6?
top things,>? are. beyond your list, no mounts need changing engine is small.
all fluids,
and purge the brake fluid, far to close MC. and all new shoes pads.
FPR might be due. fuel press reg.
fuel pump, they even have a new quiet BOSCH pump. sure if this old, but mileage is low, +
new shocks and struts, if they bounce 2 times no good.
just fluids a alone can make car go 300,000 miles, brakes and belts and hoses are expendable.
yes hoses if old hard or microcracks seen...
that is about it. G16 has timing belt other engine don't is chain 2L or 2.5L up.

good luck to you.

Also, at this point my dealer is charging me five times what I can get parts for over the internet. Should I just buy the parts myself and forgo any labor warranty?

At five times the price for parts that would give me at least the labor component of a repair twice, maybe three times over on most jobs.

This is a ZR2 model, 2001 - so it's got the 2L not the old 1.8L? engine.
FPR might be due. fuel press reg. - I look in to that.

fuel pump, they even have a new quiet BOSCH pump.
Do you know the BOSCH part number?

Thanks,
