ABS Light stays on on my 99 GMC Jimmy SLE. Brakes seem to be fine. Also, when I'm on freeway and I get up to 65 mph, I feel shaking on front end. Could that be tire problem...all are same size [P2

I just purchased the vehicle about a month ago. It looks like 3 different tires [brand]; Front driver side [Firestone Destination A/T]; Front Pass. side [Kelly Navigator Gold]; Rear Pass. side [Cooper Lifeliner Classic II, Steel-Belted]; Rear Driver side [Kelly Navigator Gold, Steel-Belted]. Thanks for your help!

SOURCE: front end and steering wheel shakes

Most common problem would be tires are out a balance. Or, the tires are out of round ( meaning the tires have a hop to it; not completely round ).

SOURCE: Bad oil leak driver side front fender

There is an adapter for the oil filter with 2 lines coming out of it above the drive shaft from the transfer case to the front differential. The O ring on these will go sometimes causing loss of oil. Also check the 2 lines for leaks and cracks.

SOURCE: Front end shakes when brakes are applied..

Your rotors are warped. When you had your brakes replaced - did they just replace the pads? Did they "turn" the rotors - or replace them? It isn't very expensive to have them turned - which means they will resurface them - removing any high spots. One thing to note - by law, the rotors have to be a specific minimum thickness - if by turning them, they would become too thin - they won't (shouldn't) do it. They will put calipers on them to determine the current, and end result of the thickness and let you know before then actually do the work.

Also - it wouldn't hurt to double check that all of the lug nuts are tightened to 100 ft/lbs on all 4 wheels.

Hope this helps and good luck!

First, have the front end checked for worn parts, if ok, then have the tire checked.

Abs and brake lights on

Thats a big possibility. The abs light is on telling the driver the abs system is disabled. And the regular brake light could be on because the parking brake is not released.

Sounds like you ABS is working correctly, the light will come on when the system is activated, and from the sounds of things(oil pan broke) it did. Were the rotors for the brakes checked for run out? Sounds like a warped or bent rotor. If you were having problems with the ABS the light would stay on, deactivating the system.

Make sure your your wheel speed sensors have good connections at the wheel since you just did work there. You may need to bleed the brakes again for the other problem.

99 jimmy vibrating when i drive it. u joint? how to tell which one

You will have to get under the vehicle, and grab the drive shaft at each u-joint. Grab the first one, and move it up, down, and side to side to look for any play. Also pay attention to missing pieces, and missing clips that hold the u-joint in.

Another thing to check is your wheel bearings. Jack the rear up, and grab each tire at 3o'Clock and 9o'clock first, and then 12o'clock and 6o'clock. Wiggle/shake it looking for play. Do the front tires the same way. You should find it.

Most common reasons for vibrations

Uneven tire wear (alignment)
Unbalanced tires
Universal joints
bearings
drivetrain

2001 GMC Jimmy. Is there a fuse I can take out to disable the ABS system and just use the regular braking system so I can drive it into town and get it checked out and fixed properly? The ABS system is...

Under the hood there should be a fuse box, it's going to be one of the big fuses, had the same problem, 01 Tahoe. Found out it was a front bearing assembly. I replaced and it works fine now. Be carful as you will have no abs once fuse is pulled and FYI the abs light and break light will stay on as well. Good luck

I have an ABS light problem on my GMC mod 1998, when i change the rear diferentiel , is there any link to the front break

what is the nature of your problem light staying on going off coming on? the problem started after the rear end change? The EHCU has 2 lines going into it and 3 out. The 2 "in" are from the combination valve, 1 for rear system and 1 for front system. The 3 "out" are split into 1 for rear brakes and 2 for front brakes. check this out and let me know to further help you
