Chevy Tracker - Front Diff
« on: May 10, 2004, 04:06:24 PM »
What is the Suzuki model that is the Chevy Tracker (newer one, not the sidekick)? Does the V6 Tracker have a steel front diff housing or is it Aluminum?

It's called a Vitara now, or a Grand Vitara.  If it has an automatic transmission, the diff carrier is aluminum, if it has a V6 and manual transmission, the diff carrier is steel.

So it would have to come from a V6 manual, same requirements for the GV diff. Does it have to be the 4 door model, or could I get it out of a 2 door as long as it came with a V6 5speed?

Also, there's a visible difference between aluminum and steel housings, correct? Aluminum is bare, and steel is painted black?

The tracker never came with a steel front diff. Only the V6 5 speed GV and 5 speed Xl7.

Dammit. I was thinking that the Chevy Tracker was more prevalent around here... unfortunately I probably won't find a GV in the junkyards, so I'll have to buy it new :(

Even if you find one used they want to sell the whole setup with the gears air 4x4 mechanism ect togather . Cost = $800-1000. No savings there!

That's fucking bullshit... Mebbe I'll just go to that pick and pull yard that is reputed to be easy to loot :)

Or not. :(
