1991 GMC Jimmy SLE 4x4 from North America - Comments

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.

I have a 93 GMC Jimmy 4 wheel drive. It has tore up so many times. BUT it will go through a mud hole like you have never seen before. I guess that is why it has tore up so much. But I like it when I can out do a Toyota 4runner baby. So I am somewhat satisfied.

I have a 91' Jimmy and it has over 150,000 miles on it and it is still running great. A few minor problems and a little rust on the back hatch, but overall it is a great truck.

Yesterday I sold my 1991 GMC Jimmy, with 157,000m, something that I really didn't want to do. My father bought that truck off the show-room floor almost 12 years ago, and it had been passed down to me. It was the most sentimental object that I think I will ever own in my life. The thing that hurts the most, is that I had to sell it for less than $500.00! Granted that it did have problems: Wrecked front end, electrical problems, bald tires, didn't pass smog, things like this. I wanted to fix it up new and drive it for another hundred thousand miles, but I just didn't have the financial freedom to do that, so I did the only thing I could do, sold it. I will miss that truck dearly...

I own a 91' S-15 Jimmy that I bought new. It has been a pretty dependable truck (Fuel pump@ 36000 and Lower ball joints@ 38000). The main complaint I have is that it has a very stiff suspension. I was naive enough to believe that it would soften after a few miles, but after some 80,000 miles, it is as stiff as ever. No problem with the paint or rust yet, but I live in Oklahoma and it is always garaged. I wish there is was some after market suspension that I could buy to soften the ride a little.

I own a '91 GMC Jimmy. it is a very reliable and dependable truck. and I also have problems with the paint peeling and the rust, but I live in Western New York and expect to have rust. The really big issue that I have is that my 4 wheel drive transfer case seems to be "LOCKED" into 4X4 I've tried just about everything that I could think of and with no luck if any body has this problem or has a cure for this just let me no on this page in a comment I will keep checking and keep working on my horse:).

I own a GMC Jimmy 91 SLE 4.3. I love it, I bought it used for 1800$ it had some minor rust, but those were repaired and the whole vehicle was repainted so it looksas good as showroom floors. I bought it at 84,000 and now it has 95,000. I haven't had one problem except for the fuel pump went out. Other than that the engine and trany runs as smooth as it would have brand new. Interior still looks new with no wear and tear. The only thing that upset me it the Alloy rims clear coat is coming off and looks bad so that my next purchase. I've change tail pipe, rear shocks, and standard maint.. I rate this truck a 10 out of 10. GMC and Chevy rule any other vehicle.

Brought my 1991 Chevy S-10 Blazer with 65,000 miles on it. It currently has over 204,000 miles and still runs very well. No major problems other than one bad 4wd vacuum module that was $15.00 from the dealer and $85 for the mechanic to install. The heater cores are a pain to replace, but other than that it will take me anywhere I need to go. A great truck to own. If my new truck last as long it will be a few years before I buy another vehicle. New truck is a 03' GMC Sonoma Ext. Cab 4x4.

I own a 1992 GMC Jimmy. I bought it with 155,000 miles and have replaced a few parts (heater core, oil lines, pushbutton 4x4, shocks). It has been a pretty decent vehicle other than the 4x4. It hasn't really worked since I bought it and I now have 200,000 miles on it. The 4 lo was working for a while, but the 4 hi wasn't. Now it won't work period. If anyone has had a problem like this please reply. I think it's in the fuse box. When I pull the TCCM fuse and push it in it will reset the 4x4 and this use to help.

I just bought a 91 jimmy and have the digital dash well it doesn't work and have no turn signals or dome light, took every thing apart, but can't figure it out anyone have this problem?? e-mail me at vtwjmsw@aol.com.

My friend has a '91 Jimmy 4X4 and I just fixed the strangest oil leak I've heard about or seen. The rear of the drivers side valve cover, just the very corner right next to the shift linkage, was bent up 90* and spewing oil. Looked like the shift linkage was hitting it and it finally bent it enough to leak. Well, it always leaked, but finally was pouring oil out. Anyone ever heard of this happening? If so, please email me at urbncby@nauticom.net.

Thanks.

Scott in Pittsburgh.

I have a 1993 Jimmy and I am wondering how to disengage the 4x4. I don't see a switch to convert back to the 2wd so I need a little help if possible. Please email me at stcardwell@yahoo.com.

Thanks.

I have a '91 GMC jimmy with 259,000 miles and it still runs smooth. I change the oil every 3,000 miles, I don't accelerate fast and I do basic maintenance. The only real maintance headaches I have had is with worn brake rotors that wear out before there is any sign. Currently I am replacing the distributor. This truck is definitely worth keeping and worth repairing and is reliable. Take good care of your truck.
