Hi, i have a 2000 GMC jimmy and i have replaced 1 left wheel bearing and 5 right wheel bearings in 2 years. The abs will kick in when i break at low speeds and when i hit bumps on the road making the truck hard to stop. It occurs more in the rain as well. Everyone tells me it is the wheel bearings but i know i cant chew threw that many in such a short period of time. Please help!
Check your ABS sensor on your wheel hub. The ABS sensor may be going bad or needs to be re gaped. You can do the work your self to save you some money, Take the front wheel off and look for your ABS sensor, There is going to be a wire harness along your upper A arms, just follow it to the wheel hub. Give it a good spray with brake parts cleaner and re gap it closer to the speed ring on the wheel hub. If you don't have a feeler gap, you can use a dime as the gap reference. After your have done all that and you still have the problem, you can go to the dealer and have them look up if there was a recall campaign for the ABS activating during low speed stops. Good luck and keep me posted Be glad to help.

LAST WEDNESDAY WHILE OUT ON THE BACK ROADS, I DECIDED IT WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO RUN THRU MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE (ELECTRONIC 2H, 4H, 4L, & ALL WHEEL), ALL OF THE SHIFTS WENT FINE, AND I THEN DROVE HOME. IN THE MORNING HOWEVER THE JIMMY WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE AND DID NOT HAVE DRIVE 3 OR DRIVE 2, ONLY LOW 1 TO DRIVE. I THEN HAD IT LOCK UP IN FOUR LOW AFTER I WAS CYCLING THRU THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE AGAIN TRYING TO REGAIN REVERSE, AFTER FINALLY GETTING IT OUT OF 4 LOW AND BACK INTO 2H (STILL NO REVERSE) I THEN PROCEDED TO PUT THE TRANFER CASE INTO NUETRAL BY HOLDING THE THE 2H BUTTON AND THE 4L BUTTON UNTIL THE TRANSFER CASE SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. I THEN PUT IN REVERSE AND THEN TO DRIVE AND LOW AND BEHOLD DRIVE STILL ENGAGED WITH THE TRANSFER STILL IN NEUTRAL, I HAVE CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT IN DRIVE 1 TO DRIVE AND HAVE BEEN TAKING IT VERY EASY HOPING THAT WHAT EVER HAS STUCK SERVO WISE WILL LOSEN IT SELF AND COME BACK ON LINE. NOW KEEP IN MIND I HAVE NOT BEATEN THIS VEHICLE, NOR DID I GET IT STUCK AND HAMMER IT BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN DRIVE AND REVERSE, I MEARLY WAS SHIFTING THRU THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE, ANYONE WITH INSITE INTO THIS, YOUR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED
