1987 GMC Jimmy S-15 review from North America
"A good truck when it runs properly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My exhaust manifold is cracked. That can be replaced with headers (just another cost).
It doesn't lock into four-wheel drive. This makes it now a two-wheel drive truck.
I have a transmission leak. I have yet to get it fixed (usually sits in the driveway now).
It has a terrible squeaking noise coming for the drivers side.
My passenger side window keeps coming off track. It has been fixed several times, but it still keeps coming off track.
General comments?
The car runs great when it is working properly, and I would love to drive it more.
The truck has too many problems to drive it on a regular basis.
If the four-wheel drive worked it would probably be a fun truck to go off-road in.
