1991 GMC Jimmy S-15 SLE review from North America
"A reliable truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
General comments?
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.
