Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1979 Jimmy.
The 1979 GMC Truck Jimmy is catalogued as its own model-year entry, yet it sits entirely outside the model’s recorded complaint history, which spans 1990 through 2004 rather than reaching back to this earlier period. Within that documented window, complaints against the Jimmy line peaked at 620 in 1995 and fell to a low of just 1 in 2003, establishing the range by which the model’s later reliability is measured. Because this 1979 model predates that 1990–2004 timeframe, it has no corresponding complaint data in the archive, leaving researchers without a benchmark to gauge its standing against the highs and lows captured in those subsequent years.
