IT'S A DUD
THIS VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH USED, SHOULD HAVE BEEN EASILY TAKEN THRU TO 2005 WITH NO MAJOR PROBLEMS; I'VE HAD THREE RECALL NOTICES ABOUT CERTAIN PARTS OF THE VEHICLE AND IT'S BEEN A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT; I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A SUPPORTER OF GM VEHICLES, BUT THIS HAS REALLY SOURED ME ON GM PRODUCTS; I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM VEHICLE AGAIN; THE DEALERSHIP WAS ALSO A DISAPPOINTMENT AND TREATED ME WITH DISRESPECT.
Piece of Tin
While I enjoy sitting higher in a vehicle and having 4 wheel drive capability, this vehicle has been a disappointment. From riding like a lumber wagon, getting 17 mpg, road noise, no tire traction whatsoever (read: white knuckling it on ice/snow and I'm from Minnesota and know how to drive) to the fuel gauge/thermomemter/CD player, etc., crapping out, I wouldn't buy a GMC again.
Must have gotten the good one
have had my Jimmy since 1996, Only problem was shim in the steeering coluum, fixed twice by dealer at no cost, everything runs great, But the mileage is lousy 16 in the city, the ive gotten on the Hwy is 21. Probably would not buy another one, but am retiring this february so ill keep it till it falls apart
