1994 GMC Jimmy SLE 4.3 from North America

Summary:

It's a great looking car that I can take anywhere

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong with car yet, other than it needs new oil lines.

General Comments:

It's a great truck that I can and will take anywhere. It has been very well taken care of; the inside is nice and I like the outside look of the vehicle. It has a powerful 4.3 that can cruise down the highway nice and it always starts. It has never let me down!

1994 GMC Jimmy SLT Vortec 6 from North America

Summary:

It is a well built, but has problems

Faults:

Heater core went out on it.

Window motor broke.

Hinges on both front doors are falling off.

Hole in the gas tank.

Only the speedometer and odometer work on the dash lights.

Back window blew out when I hit a bump

Of course the A/C doesn't work.

NOTHING ELECTRONIC WORKS, WHATSOEVER.

General Comments:

I love this truck, it has always been reliable to me. It is in good shape for being 16 years old.

It has the normal wear and tear, but handles nice, and is still pretty fast and just as powerful as it always has been. Until everything electronic quit in it.

1994 GMC Jimmy S15 from North America

1a. Fuel pump replaced when we first got it; $135.

2. Fuel injector (spider) replaced a year later; $500.

4. Fuel injector (spider) replaced a year later; $500.

4a. Fuel pump replaced again as well as the injector; $135.

Seal on transmission leaked replaced; it's not that expensive.

Starter & fly wheel replaced due to fuel injector needing to be replaced the 4th time; $325.

02 sensor replaced 2 times in 3 years.

Brakes need replacing every 2 months since we got it; $40 each time.

Brake master cylinder replacement; $50.

Driver's window motor replacement; $90.

Passenger side window motor replacement; $30 (found one cheaper than the auto parts store at an online auction site).

Passenger door handle replaced; $35.

Headliner coming loose.

Lousy gas mileage.

General Comments:

My biggest complaint is the fuel injector (spider) problem. Spent $2000 in 3 years for the fuel injector alone. And the bad part is a lot of places have this in stock, so it must be a regular problem with this particular fuel injector.

Plus having to replace the fuel pump each time we replace the injector, bumps the cost up to $2450, & then you add the starter & flywheel being worn out from trying to start it with the fuel injector going bad, makes it $2865.

I am an ASE certified mechanic, so I fix it myself, & if I had to take it into a shop it would cost more. I miss my Toyota truck!!

1994 GMC Jimmy S-15 4.3 Vortec from North America

Summary:

Overall, a very good vehicle!

Faults:

Really the only problems I've had with it was the EGR, in which resulted in making my truck seem as though it was missing, and cutting out! All I did was for one replaced my spark plugs, and wires, and then I just whacked my EGR a few good times! And believe it or not, I have had no problems from the EGR out of it since.

Also, I had to replace my power break booster! You talk about one hell of a job! And the last problem I've had was my starter went out, but that really ain't a problem with the truck, that's just normal wear and tear!

General Comments:

Overall this truck has been a pretty good truck! I really like it. It runs great, it's pretty good on gas, and it handles well also!
