1998 GMC Jimmy SLT review from North America

So far there has only been the battery that needed to be replaced.

During this warmer summer months, I have notice the automatic transmission shifting rough and some slippage. I have also notice an odd smell of the fluid. But now that the weather is getting cooler, the transmission seems to be shifting better.

I am noticing some noise at around 55 miles per hour. And I am noticing a clunking action when shifting into drive or reverse. More than likely it is the universal joints wearing out. But my Jimmy has almost 90 thousand miles on it, I can expect that to wear out eventually.

In rather windy weather, the Jimmy seems to be pushed about very easily. And seems to be very difficult to handle in high cross wind conditions.

The leather seating is very comfortable.

At highway speeds, it is quiet and very comfortable.

The monochromatic mirrors are very nice to have. Blocking the glare from vehicle behind me. Their high beams will not blind me any more.

The automatic climate control is also very nice to have. No more fumbling with the controls, especially in heavy city traffic.

The automatic sound control is also very nice to have. Maintaining a comfortable audio level, even at highway speeds.

The fog lights are well designed, aiming light where I need it most. The lights are especially helpful in heavy lake effect snowfall.
