A good vehicle. It runs smooth, and gets good highway gas mileage. Not great in town. I want another "JIMMY" SLT but I don't see a "Jimmy" on the market. Humm? What to buy next? Maybe I'll just have the engine rebuilt someday on this one.

Stay away from these trucks! I needed a car for college and found this nice, lady owned, Red 98 SLT with 100,000 miles on it. It was a great looking truck with black leather, and body was in great shape. However, after 7 months I replaced fuel pumps, idler arm, ball joints, 3 wheel bearings, battery, alternator, brakes, heater and more. Pain to work on. Needed more work than I could afford so after six months I sold it. I consider myself lucky because most people I talk to have had 4x4, and trannys go out. I try to buy American but now I know why I see so many late model Jimmys in the junkyard. These are money pits!

Have had some problems with transmission which would not shift out properly due to a faulty valve; also have problems with fuel pump and electrical system.

My transmission went out at 47,000 miles, shortly before it was due for its 50,000 transmission service. Vehicle never used to pull or haul, wife simply drives it to and from her school teacher job. A GMC dealer wanted $2400 to repair it. Last Jimmy I will own.
