hi guys, i have a 2000 gmc jimmy

but im not quite sure if it's a 4wd or a 2wd

is there anywhere on the VIN or something that i can tell if its a 2wd or a 4wd?

thank you

 

Do you have buttons on your dash between the instrument cluster and the center dash vents? If not, then you have a 2wd (or slight possibility that its awd). If you do have buttons there, then you have a 4wd. The tell tale is if you have a coil spring in the front suspension or a torsion bar (search for pictures of a torsion bar suspension).

 

no buttons, so its probably just a 2WD

but just outta curiosity

how could you tell if its an AWD?

 

The last sentence of my post. If you have a coil spring for the suspension in the front, it's 2wd, if there is a torsion bar (horizontal bar running from the lower control arm to a cross-beam located on the frame sort of under the driver's seat), you have AWD.

I'm betting you are 2wd.

 

so...

spring=2wd
no spring = awd?

thank you for the quick responses
