Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 16 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 16 | I purchased a new battery ground strap and a engine ground stap from Jim Carter when I got the battery ground.
Where is the proper location for the engine ground strap on the engine and do I really need it ?

I will likely connect the other ground to the cab.

Engine to frame, battery to engine, and body to frame. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2013 Posts: 56 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2013 Posts: 56 | Also don't forget to use star washers to bite into metal for a good connection.
