Can anyone tell me where to look? I have a new strap but I'm not sure where it should be located. My truck is a 1946 1.5ton. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 176 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 176 | There was none on the 1941 models. Never heard one on a 46 either. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 210 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 210 | Ok then, besides the Negative Battery cable, what are the other major grounds to check? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
In later years, GM recommended a ground strap between the head and the firewall (with radios) - from a bolt/screw behind the distributor to a fender-brace bolt at the firewall.
