So I have a GMC Jimmy 2002, bought in 06 with 60k on it, now at 120k and questioning if its time to change or not. Went to a GM official dealer to get the 64 points inspection and got the following:

(translated from french form)
- Oil leak between motor and transmission
- Oil leak at tale of transmission
- Noisy rear link kit
- Rusted back plates
- 4X4 not working
- upper ball joint to be checked

I know it seems like a lot of issues, but the truck runs so gooooood.
So I was debating putting the money and keeping it.
The other option is "parking" it and get a GMC Canyon 2010

Any advice from Jimmy owners?

thank you for anyones time

What is next to go, on something like this. I want something to last her about 1.5years w/o putting a ton of money into it. I know hard to say but just want to know what is common.

I get in it to go to work, starts right up, drives fine all the way to work. Get off work go out to start it, wont start. Cranks like crazy but wont catch. Anyway, replaced the coil, no start. Replaced the rotor and cap and bingo, starts right up. But 50 feet from there it dies.
Start it, drive a little ways and it dies. Put it in nuetral , keep the r's up and it will stay running. But if I put it in gear, it dies. Finally get it home. let it sit all weekend, get in monday morning, starts right up, drives me all the way to work, no problems. Get in to come home, starts up, half way home it starts that same crap all over again. Get it home, let it idle in the drive way and it sounds like a cam shaft from hell. It wants to die but it wont let itself. Could I have done something under the hood by accident when I was doing the other stuff? Any ideas what this could be?

Even opening the rear glass. I know on the K5s they roll down into the tailgate... awesomely jelous of that.

But, the exhaust is pretty ripe when I do that... clearly the catt. has gone bad. but that’s not the point

point is I’m going to get new exhaust as my next "thing" for the truck and was wondering how you may have roughed it to avoid smelling it and possibly dyeing like the kid from "buck wild" did....
did you go duel or single? Where did it end? Etc.

It’s a big problem with our trucks because the ass end is so big, exhaust and dust is just drawn there and stays in an "eddy" in wind tunnel testing ]]> Chevy Blazer Forum (GMC Jimmy) K15 Blazer Guy http://www.gmtruckclub.com/forum/showthread.php/121446-Where-to-end-the-tail-pipe(s)
