I just purchased a 2000 GMC Jimmy Diamond Edition with just under 80K on the odometer. It is all optioned out. So far it runs and drives great.

 

We Need Pics now! lol

 

x2 on the pics! lol

 

I've never heard of the Diamond edition


put up some pic so I can see what it is

 

The GMC Diamond Edition was made in 2000 and 2001. It was to comemorate the 30th aniversary of the Jimmy. It has Diamond Stitched Leather Interior, Bose Stero, front push bars with integral fog lights, special body side moldings, diamond cut alumminum wheels. Envoy center console, HID Headlights, Overhead Console(homelink, map lights front/rear, sunglass holder, compass, fuel usage/mileage ets), Rear Audio Controls with head phone, 8-way power seats for driver and passenger, automatic climate contol, Auto select 4 wheel drive, heated mirrors & Seats, Aux Air Compressor in the rear cargo area, luxury ride.

 

Congrats on the new truck. Good find.

 

i almost bought a diamond edition to use as my DD instead of my 97... and just use my jimmy now as a strictly trail rig.

 

Now we just need pics

 

Wow...that's quite the Jimmy lol. I've never heard of one before. Any idea how many were made?
And I like it except for that leather design..It can do without that. Also not a big fan of the rims or the side skirt things. Interesting that that all came stock though.

 

I think I read 10,000 units but I could be way off. If i did not like the whole Diamond package I would not have purchased it. Everyone has their own taste. I like cars that have not been modded. I prefer factory options over aftermarket most of the time. Other than ensuring all the maintenance items are done I do not plan on any changes except maybe changing the factory radio cassette for a factory radio Cd player for the BOSE system. I did have to replace the AC Compressor and one of the HID lights is out. GM is mighty proud of their replacement HID parts. They are not standard bulbs or harness. The choices are: 1. Replace with factory parts at high cost, 2. Do away with HID and replace with 9006 Halogen bulbs. 3. Replace the factory HID system with an aftermarket system. Since I like original I sprung to replace with factory Ignitor and ballest assy. If it goes out again I would probally switch to aftermarket HID's. The original bulb and harness are hardwired together and you can not just replace the ignitor. According to a trusted parts counter person the replacement Ignitor does not match up to the original Ballast. In order to have factory HID's you have to purchase both the ignitor and ballast. The previous owner tried to seperate the bulb from the ignitor and sheared of the bulb from the housing.
