The car was one of the biggest mistakes of my life
This car has given me problems ever since I bought it and I can't wait to get rid of it. It seems like every month I'm spending money to get this truck repaired.

This is a very bad, non reliable car
Well let's see... this was my first and worst.
We had the AC fixed twice, 4 wheel drive didn't work, power mirrors didn't work, hood would not pop open, truck hatch got stuck, engine rattles often, very bad starter in the car.
This car has stalled on me 3 times, and has had to be jumped like 8 times, and the seats are the most uncomfortable seats I have ever sat in.
This car does not make a good car; it ran for the little time I had it, and died soon after.
I now have a Sunfire, and miss the wideness of the Jimmy, but overall, I will never buy another GM SUV again.

The 1995 GMC Jimmy is a very special one of a kind piece of junk
My major concern with this 1995 GMC Jimmy is that the engine is a one of a kind made only in 1995. Only in 1995 did they make the 3.4 vortex engine with the spark plugs on the sides. All other vortex engines have plugs on the top. In addition, there is some kind of sensor on this model, but is not on the other model years. No other year engine will fit.
My engine is blown now and I cannot find a replacement for it that is suitable. I am finding engines with 80,000 miles on it selling for $1200 dollars in junkyards. I do not want to spend that much on a motor with those miles on it.
I liked this Jimmy very much, but I am very sorry that I bought it.

The statement about the engine is false, Jimmys and Blazers were made with the Vortec 4.3 starting in 1991 up through 1995, and they always had the spark plugs on the sides of the engine.
I have owned a 93 S10 Blazer and a 94 Olds Bravada. They both have the Vortec 4.3 liter V6. GM was making that CPI motor from 92 to 95, then they switched the intake, but they used the same motor until 2004.
Turns on a dime, But needs pampering!$!$!
Brakes started to fail the day I drove it off the lot. The dealership swore they had just replaced the brakes.
Horrible squealing coming from the front left tire.
Check engine light has been on more than it has been off.
A/C hits about 55 degrees F and stays that warm.
Unpredictable gas mileage every few weeks. My Jimmy does the same dangerous thing at 1/4 tank of fuel or below. When you need to step on the brakes pretty quickly, the power steering and the brakes lock up. It's happened to me, we almost went over a small cliff into some houses when we were turing down a hill/driveway.
Mechanics say there are metal shavings in my transmission fluid.
I'm trying to love him...
The Jimmy has a lot of power and looks very new and nice for it's year. He also turns on a dime!! Great to take camping. Slept in the Jimmy many times...

I too have a 1995 GMC JIMMY SLT with roughly 110 miles on it and it still drives extremely well. I have had some minor problems such as bearings going, door hinges and some repeat problems with the egr valve, but this vehicle is of extreme comfort, has plenty of power and is an extremely good purchase. You won't regret it.
