GMC Jimmy 1998 was going 3 miles an hour at intersection and truck kind of jumped forward 3 times and steering wheel shook. The brake pedal went to the floor, was able to recover by putting in neutral and giving it gas, pumped right back up Where can we get the codes cheap.

Wow, bless all of you for answering as this is serious. It looks as if we will have to check several brake related parts and hope its cheap to fix. I am going to have a hard time picking my favorite answer

And why doesn't the pilot allow email?? The fluids are fine.

this is a very common problem with GM / GMC ABS systems.
the typical cause is the ABS unit failing. have the abs system codes read this will tell you what is causing if there is an autozone in your area they can read codes and its free.
can also be cause by brake fluid contamination. bleed brake fluid until all is clean.

had the same thing happen on a 98 Jimmy lease that I had, took it back to dealer and they put on a new brake booster and that fixes the problem.

Nothing to mess with -- sounds like a master cylinder but not sure -- If you don't know have it checked out properly. How's your fluid level?

it could be a bad master cylinder.also one of the sensors in the wheels could be bad.go to auto zone and see if they can run a code on it.its free.

BY YOUR EXPLANATION, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE MAY HAVE STUMBLED WHEN PROBLEM OCCURRED, CAUSING THE SHAKING, WHICH WOULD LEAD ME TOWARDS THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE BOOSTER IS VACUUM CONTROLLED AND A VAC LEAK CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STUMBLE

check the abs brake fuse - if it is good, try removing it - abs problem
