I've had my GMC Jimmy for about 6 months. When I bought it the trans was rebuilt the oil cooler lines and the coolant was just flushed. Me and my Jimmy had a rocky relationship at first, I had to replace intake gasket, fuel pump, front hubs, and some other more minor things. But now that I gave my Jimmy some TLC it is a great workhorse. It has a strong engine, it can tow a trailer sufficient for my needs, and I can fit all my tools in the back. The four wheel drive is excellent. I'm 6"3 and can sit comfortably in the drivers seat. . I change my oil regularly and take care of any maintenance right away. Its a great SUV. Take care of your car and it will take care of you!
stop replacing ball joints!!!

Seeing all the other reviews and my own experience (GM Tech) DO NOT replace ball joints on this vehilce. GM specs allow for ALOT of 'play" or movement and 95% of independent shops will tell you you need ball joints replaced when you do not. If you think you need them or are told by a mechanic, take veh to a GM dealership and have them check and compare to allowed specifications. Most Jimmys and Blazers can go 150,000 miles + without needing replacement of ball joints!

We bought our SLE 4x4 new off the lot and still own it. Its had it's share of leaks and general wear and tear but overall has been a good vehicle. Got about 110,000 miles and most of the leaks and issues started after 100k. It's been babied the whole time, always parked inside and oil changed regularly. Gets around great in the snow and used it to tow quite a bit of stuff (doesn't do real well at highway speeds with the AC running). We've been happy with it and the wife is still using it as her daily driver. Mileage ranges anywhere from 15-20.
From one problem to next

Bought it new. Replaced water pump, many bearings, idler, pitman arms, every kind of leak possible due to Dex- cool GM problem and had problems with 4x4. At least the body has held up over the years.
Impressive ride

Excellent vehicle for an outdoors type of guy. Handles well for the most part, leans a bit at high speeds in curves. The vehicle at times had a raddle in the rear, although not annoying. Gas mileage is typical for a SUV, not a Geo metro. If you are buying a SUV, isn't for the hybrid driver. Go out and buy this vehicle, mine has close to 100,000 miles and will make it to 200,000 miles!
