1993 GMC Jimmy SLS review from North America
"I really like the Jimmy, I suppose I just need a bigger cash flow to afford a 4-Wheel Drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
About 170,000 had to replace Master Cylinder, Back Glass, Drivers Door Elecric Window Motor.
Approx. 198,000 had the fuel injectors blown out. Had the fuel intake line replaced. Replaced Oxygen Sensor. Replaced the Catalytic Converter. Replaced the Ignition Control Module.
Now at almost 200,000 it needs a fuel pump and a new spider for the fuel injection.
General comments?
Granted it has a lot of miles, But generally it has been a good vehicle.
When it does run ---in cooler weather-- or at night, It runs like a dream... A real trooper that will take you anywhere and pull anything!
It is in immaculate condition - both inside and out!
The is so much cargo room inside the vehicle. It even Amazed me.
I love the height, size and maneuverability on the vehicle. It is a lot of fun to drive. A real pleasure-able experience!
I realize, and do regular maintenance on it. But it seems when I started replacing parts to fix problems it is getting to be more than I can afford. True it is paid for :)... and has a lot of miles, but I was told by many previous owners of this type of Vehicle, the motor would last for close to 400,000 miles. I am the second owner of this one, and I honesty believe it still has a lot of use left.
