I would not use that POS GM performance jack, OR the other POS Chicom Craftsman jack. On anything.

The best bet if you on a budget is to get a used AMERICAN MADE floorjack from Snap-on, Walker, Weaver, Lincoln, Hein Werner, Milwaukee or Blackhawk.
(Many of the Snap-ons are relabeled Hein Werner). Any OLD american jack is probably going to be awesome. If it doesn't go up, or stay up, not to worry; these are all rebuildable, and in general, parts like seals and pistons are readily available. Not that hard to rebuild a floorjack. You can find a beat up old Hein Werner for $50, strip it, paint it, rebuild it with anot5her $50 worth of parts, and you'll have something that could not be replaced for $500.

The absolute best NEW jacks are AC. Here are links for some others as well. Good jacks are not cheap, but the danger of using a POS jack is simply not worth it.
