Need source with diagram od radiator hoses
« on: August 02, 2019, 08:22:22 AM »
Hi
I recently got a 1996 Tracker. I am going over it to make sure I don't get stuck somewhere in the desert because of some overlooked maintenance item. While replacing the timing belt and pump I want to replace all of the radiator and heater hoses. I have never seen a vehicle with so many hoses and in such hard to find places!  Where can I find a seller with a diagram of the engine cooling system so I can make sure I have them all?  Does anyone know?
BTW an surprised by this little truck. It works like a champ and is a blast to drive! No wonder they are so popular.

I believe Ack's FAQ has a soft copy of the 96 Tracker service manual that you can download.

That would be wonderful. Not to appear ignorant but who or What is Ack? I can't find a FAQ here.

Found it in Acks Faq. It is here

You may need to use Chrome or some other browser. Firefox won't allow Acks for some reason.

Oh rats! Not at all like mine. Must be an earlier model. Doesn't use y pipes for the heater or carb heater hoses. Still looking.

I'd more believe your car may have been altered, especially when you mention "carb heater hoses" - none of the Trackers left the factory with a carburettor, they were all fuel injected.

My mistake...I'm old and I still say Carb when I see those throttle body assemblies. There are 2 small hoses that go into the intake hose that leaked antifreeze when I took them off to get to the plugs. I assume they heat something for some reason. I'll replace them with plain tubing.
  Never found anybody near here that has a diagram. Our local place is a NAPA  and the guy there says "take them all off and bring them here and we will cut some from what we have and what we don't we can order and you will wait for us to call".   Old style Auto Parts service. They wonder why we get our stuff online! :)
