99 GMC Jimmy worth rebuilding
I found a 99 GMC Jimmy I can get for about $400with 162kmi. It's an SLT
package with all the bells and whistle, but the transmission slips bad. I can
get the transmission rebuilt for a decent price. I'm looking to make a 40mi
drive every day for work with it. I do most of the work on my vehicles
myself, I did all the work on my cheyenne 3500, however I've never
touched a transmission so I'll need to go to a shop.
I'm just worried I'll fix the trans then need to rebuild the engine. How do
jimmys generally hold up? It is a 4.3l 6cyl engine. I just need to know if they
are worth sinking some money into it'll probably cost me around 2,000 to
be happy with it. I feel like it's worth rebuilding rather then buying a working
old vehicle for 2,000 however I'm undecided and would appreciate some
input from more experienced owners.
