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 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!

Although I love the way this SUV looks it's been nothing but problems since buying it new. The hazard switch was replaced, 4 wheel drive speed sensor, rear main seal and oil pan gasket, pinion seal and now there is another oil leak in the front of the vehicle. This is the third Jimmy I've owned and will not purchase a GMC again since each one has had succeedingly more problems. This 2000 has been the worst for mechanical problems.
This is a lemon, buyer beware and read up

We have had nothing but problems with this car. Buyers need to really review what others are saying as they seem to have all similar issues. 4 wheel drive engages itself as you are driving. Heater issues, wiring issues, the list goes on and on. I will never buy a GMC again. Really do your research! Google the make, year and model and read up on them. I can't believe that some of these things that we are having problems with haven't been recalled its obviously issues many are having and over and over again once they are fixed. The worst car we have ever owned!
It's an okay SUV

The front interior is too small needs to be roomier. The gas mileage is terrible. The heater core is going on it and it will take eight and a half hours to fix it and more than $800. Why does it have to be that hard to get at the core. The shocks are terrible and I had to replace the ball joints. I like driving it It has lots of pep I like the looks of it and it has a great heater.
