1998 GMC Jimmy SLT review from North America
"Great all around vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intake gasket went which drained the coolant into the block.
Water pump failed at the same time.
All due to a bad thermostat.
Had to replace engine $$$.
Passenger seat heater broken.
Replaced recliner on pass seat.
Had to fix brakes and some suspension parts, but that's after 150000.
General comments?
After all that money I still love it.
Only have had to tow it the one time.
Great acceleration at all speeds for a truck.
Very comfortable interior.
Dash cluster and controls are very easy to use and read.
Lots of cargo room.
