Should I change the number of grounding straps I use? When I got the truck, it only had a battery to frame ground strap attached at the engine mount. I'm assuming i should also have an engine to frame grounding strap but was wondering where should i attach it. Thanks. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 | The more groounds the better, I always say. I have one going to the frame and to the mounting bolt of the starter. You will need a longer cable to do this but I've found it worth while.  | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 272 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 272 | Dont forget to run one to the body as well.
