Does the 2001 Chevy Tracker have a timing belt or chain?

The 2001 Chevrolet Tracker uses a timing chain in its SuzukiMade engines. Depending on which side of the argument You fall, this can either be a good or a bad thing -- timing chains don't typically require regular replacement the way that timing belts do, but when they fail, You're looking at a much larger expense. Depending on what You value, Your opinion may vary. Timing chains are expected to last for around 250,000 miles, barring unexpected failure -- this usually exceeds the lifetime of the vehicle. Timing belts, on the other hand, need to be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles to account for routine wear and tear. On the negative side though, a timing chain replacement can cost upwards of $2,000 of You need it, so be sure to take good care of Your engine with the appropriate oil and maintenance intervals to try to mitigate any problems.
