I've owned this 1998 GMC Jimmy since 2003. I am a Mechanic, Machinist, tradesman and I perform all of my own maintenance. As of 2016 I have replaced; Rear Brakes nearly every year, Rear caliper slides tend too seize and cook the pads, Fronts OK. All Rubber hoses and some steels on brakes. Parking brake cables replaced 2008. Two Right hand Wheel Hub Assy, every 50,000. Two alternators, 4 batteries since 2003. 1 Radiator, Oil cooler lines. AC Compressor/ Drier. Rebuilt the injector Spider Assy. fuel pressure Regulator , intake manifold gaskets. Timing chain at 130.000 and water pump pulleys and belt tensioner, belt. Replaced all Differential bearings due to bad pinion Growling sound at75,000mi. Fuel Pump + filter, 100,000mi. I haven't included regular maintenance, Oil changes, Spark plugs, Cap / Rotor,Wires. This Truck is driven daily, It now has over 170,000mi and going strong. Oil pressure is low now due to worn bearings/pump. No Rust yet. I need something bigger.

I have put well over $8000 in repairs to this vehicle. It is a very sharp SUV that was poorly designed. I have replaced ball joints and well bearing hub assemblys multiple times. A small fortune was spent to fix a secondary air induction pump. I would recommend everyone to stay away from purchasing this vehicle. I am not the only one that has these problems, everyone I know with one has the same problems to some extent.

Loved it until last week. With only 32,ooo miles on it the engine seized up. It will cost almost $4,000 to replace the engine. Don't know why this happened. Oil was changed as recommended and vehicle was not mistreated in any way. It was running fine before and then just died in the middle of traffic. Of course the warranty has expired so there's not much I can do but fix it. I'm not happy and will probably not buy another GMC. I could understand this happening if this vehicle had 75,000 miles on it or was over an older model and not taken care of. WHAT'S UP GMC?
Very Fun; Few Problems

I bought this vehicle in Sept. 2008, and now it is Apr. 2009. It has, so far, been an amazing vehicle. Yes, it's had a few problems, but it was just normal wear-and-tear (rusty differential cover, O2 sensors, old block heater line). Overall, this vehicle is good, but not for its city driving. On average, I received about 9 - 12 mpg city, 13 - 16 highway, which is about what the much larger Tahoe/Yukon gets now. Offroad, it is extremely fun. I do prefer the much larger SUVs though, and that was my biggest regret in buying the Jimmy, although this so-called "mid-size" SUV (it is pretty long, actually) has proven to be extremely substantial and capable. Just take care of it and it runs fine!
This GMC should be called POS

What a piece of %^&*( this vehicle has been. The first six months we owned it, it was in the shop for 8 weeks total because of nagging problems with the anti theft system locking up and making the engine shut dow or not start at all. Loads of rattles, brake noise and squeeks. Plus the infamous "vortec" engine sounds worse than a John Deere tractor...lots of metalic thrashing when under acceleration.
