I’m not sure if this will get any interest here, but I figure someone might like it for a solid winter beater/parts hauler. I have my 1998 Jimmy SLS that I’ve been daily driving since October-ish of last year. I bought this truck in NC right before I got out of the military and have put a lot of time into it to make it a reliable daily, which it has been until this week. Unfortunately due to the solid amount of extreme cold we had it seems as though the heater core froze which in turn makes me assume it has cracked as well. I already have another project car and I don’t have the patience to take the time to fix this vehicle as well. I would love to fix it and keep it, but I’m planning on signing on a new car this week so this one has to go. Enough rambling, time for details/pics **UPDATE (3/7/16) -** I took some time and looked into things, looks like the heater core escaped unscathed…I took the truck for a ride through the neighborhood and it had good heat and didn’t overheat. I think it needs a solid coolant flush and could honestly probably use intake gaskets at this point. $2000 obo as is (30" tires pictured are being sold separate) $500 for Hankooks on S10 Xtreme wheels Text anytime - (585)490-1307 1998 GMC Jimmy SLS ~216,000 miles 4.3 Vortec (has a B.S. cone filter on it that I put on to free up space, but I do have the stock air box) 4x4 Push button Aluminum skid plates under motor and transmission, carbon fiber skid plate under gas tank 145amp DR44g Alternator from fullsize truck Power Seats Overhead console (ambient air temp sensor doesn’t work, didn’t wire it in) 15" Stock wheels with good all season tires Hypertech Power Programmer Also works as a scan tool and can recalibrate the speedometer for bigger tires Recent Maintenance: Front Brake pads/rotors Rear brake pads/ rotors Idler arm Pitman arm New Rear Shocks Monroe Sensa-Trac w/coil spring for extra load capability New CV Shafts (front axles) Transmission Solenoids and Harness Replaced A and B Shift Solenoids Kickdown 3-2 Solenoid Internal Transmission Harness TCC PWM Solenoid Transmission Filter and ATF Transfer Case Vacuum Switch Ignition Switch Clutch Fan Blower Motor Temperature door Actuator New idler pulley and Serp belt 145 Amp DR44g Alternator rebuilt with new bearings/regulator Aftermarket Stereo Speakers wired to old school JBL amp Pioneer Bluetooth Head Unit, XM ready Rockford Fosgate 6.5" Front Speakers Memphis Audio 6.5" Rear Speakers Late Model S10 Mirror Upgrade Has power and heat function but I have not wired them yet Oil change every 3k w/ Rotella T6 synthetic Cons: -Airbag light is on intermittently -Needs Heater core -A/C Doesn’t hold a charge longer than a couple weeks, but does work -Some small dings and scuffs on the exterior, but no rust!

This is most certainly the cleanest Jimmy in the area. Alex has done a ton of work and it will last the newest owner years to come. GLWS ya chooch. ---

I appreciate the positive feedback on the truck! It really is amazing how much of a difference it makes being from down south. Also, Interior pictures added. ---

Small update for 3/7/16 (reflected in thread) **-** I took some time and looked into things, looks like the heater core escaped unscathed…I re-filled the cooling system and took the truck for a ride through the neighborhood; it had good heat and didn’t overheat. I think it needs a solid coolant flush and could honestly probably use intake gaskets at this point. If the truck doesn’t sell by the time the weather gets warm then I will go ahead and get these things done and the price will remain firm, until then I am obviously willing to negotiate.
