Default CHEVROLET TRACKER

I've purchased a 2001 Tracker and I'm requesting some information, please.
It did not come with cruise control nor power locks.
Would these have to be dealer installed options or would other shops to it
too.

Allot of shops in Florida no longer do cruise control due to liability
issues

If it is like the 98+ S10s, they are already prewired for cruise
control. All you have to do is add in the Turn signal switch that has
the cruise control on it, and mount the box and run the cable
underneath the hood to the throttle body. But Im not too sure about a
Tracker tho. Check under your hood next to the firewall and see if you
see a plug hanging off of it that has a cap over it thats not being
used.

Thanks for your replies.
Questions however, by shop did you mean a generic shop or a Chevy shop.
I ask because if there is a capped wire on the firewall, does that limit me
to a Chevy cruise control?
Thanks again

Im not sure if it would limit you, but it would make it a ton easier to
install the factory cruise control because as far as the switch goes it
would just be a plug and play. Only thing that would be the least bit
hard would be installing the box to the firewall and runnin the cable
to your throttle body.

Hi,
I wouldn't be doing this myself. In fact I don't even know what to look
for to see if it is wired for cruise control. Is it very likely that a 2001
Tracker without many options would be pre wired for cruise control?

Well, the truck that i put it on was a plain s10 xtreme. 2.2L 4 cyl,
manual windows/locks/mirrors. So I wouldn't doubt it not being wired
you'd just have to check for that capped plug.

Hi,
I went to a Chevy dealer and he said that the 2001 is not prewired but
he did not look himself nor did he give me any clues. He said he has a
person that installs aftermarket cruise controls for around $200.
What do you think? Can you give me any specific info on how to find that
capped plug.

OOPs,
I may have asked the wrong person about the capped plug. Please see
my last tracker post...
