1991 GMC Jimmy Reviews

I have had to change the heater core. I have also put a starter on it. that's about all.

I think this vehicle is a very good one. I've only replaced two things on it. to me it has a soft ride on the highway and even better in the woods. I have no rust, but my paint is chipping a little bit and fading on the top. yet its still the best vehicle I've ever had.

The only problem I have had with this truck is lack of power.

Otherwise this truck has run like a tank.

Very good in the snow. Good cargo room. Very roomy up front.

Pasenger side window does not always go back up.

Brakes seem to be dragging.

This truck is the most reliable car/truck I have ever owned. Good in snow and though it has a lack of power, Once you get going, It really moves. It has a good amount of cargo room and its easy to load and unload being your still kind of low to the ground.

Cracked CV boots, replaced CV joints and axle.

Bad cosmetic problems include paint peeling, rusting

Ball joints are go about every two years.

Steering is and has always been loose.

Brake system requires service, new breaks pads more than normal, break cylinders and break lines had to be replaced.

Alternator fails about every two years.

Exhaust system broke and rusted off.

Vent Blower failure.

Rubber vacuum hose are starting to go and needed to be replaced.

4wd need to be repaired twice.

Power windows shot.

Heater core replaced three times, is a constant problem.

Has an awesome turn radius.

Not that fast, but lots of power, does not drive much different when loaded. Reliability is good, although has some minor problems. The engine and transmission is very good and has no problems. Going to the dealer is a big rip off. Does good in snow and off road, but is limited by ground clearance. Good quality for a domestic SUV, and much better than the newer blazers (95- present). Although this car does have constant problems with the heater core, rust, the front end and the rear breaks. But I am very impressed with it performance over the years.

The engine has gone out. The transmission and transfer case have gone out as well.

The engine block and heads cracked this winter. Causing the engine to over heat and spin the bearing.

The transmission and transfer case gave stopped working. I am not getting rid of this truck, I love it to much. I am now working on putting a 327 small block Chevy in it right now. I am also putting in a new transmission and transfer case.

Oil pressure switch 120k miles

The gasket for the oil filter lines had to be replaced 110k miles

I've been through two oxygen sensors 80k and 110k miles

Some of the spark plugs are very hard to replace.

Stabilizer bar bushings 125k miles

Lower ball joints 90k miles

Gas tank rusted out 100k miles

The water pump 120k miles

Drivers side power window motor 130k miles

Rebuilt Transmission 72k miles.

The engine has been rock solid and not given me any problem yet.

It's been a good truck, but I wish the cargo area would be a full 4 feet across to load 4 x 8 plywood without having to put them on top of the wheel well.

It's a comfortable ride.

The electric fuel pump has been replaced twice.

The 4x4 is not working properly.

This Sport Utility Vehicle had withstand abuse like; not changing its motor oil for a year, and still gives good service.

Overall handling is stiff (It's a truck).

The motor has a lot of power and torque, it's a very reliable engine.

The seats are very comfortable.

Starter 3 months after I got it.

Heater core 3 years after I had it.

Great truck for towing and going thru snow in winter and mud in summer.

Runs great on both gas and propane.

Paint peeling off terribly. Electrical problems since day one. Rust problems that GM wouldn't back up. Heater core rupture. 4 wheel transfer case operates poorly. Hardware problems galore.

Anyone who has had a Jimmy or Blazer or Bravada should replace the cap and rotor every 3-4 years. It will greatly improve performance and mileage. I have treated my truck extremely well. It's never been off road or spent a night outdoors. I only have 53,000 miles on it. The 91-93 models ride very rough and do not ride very well on the highway due to a very stiff suspension. If you add about 150lbs of weight in the back, the ride smooths out much better.
