Nice to see some love for Terminator 2. I think the reason T2 works is that (aside from the obvious, now traditional, Terminator Big Truck Chase), it doesn't try to duplicate the original in tone or style. It's a big, overblown action/adventure movie rather than a small, taut suspense-horror film like T1, and that's usually what people criticise, but it does its thing ten times better than any other big overblown action/adventure you can name.
