Ground Straps
I just got some new ground straps. I have only seen two on my truck and the package came with five! Does anyone have a drawing or know where they all go. Thanks

Re: Ground Straps
I can tell you that one goes from the frame by the pass. side front cab mount to the underside of the cab.
i need to know this stuff too though. I need to replace mine as well.

1 from passenger side front frame horn to inner fender near front edge as it dips down towards frame, 1ea from passenger & drivers side valve cover to firewall, 1 from passenger side cab frame mounting bracket to front cab support above it, 1 from 2nd from rear LWB or far rear crossmember SWB to frame.

Re: Ground Straps
Well I was wrong. I only found one ground strap on my truck. The one I found was cab support to the frame on the passenger side. I was looking on the fire wall for holes for the ground straps and there are none. So do I need them still. The truck is running but when I turn on the head lights the radio shorts out for a second then comes back on.....

Re: Ground Straps
next question: do any of the board vendors sell a ground strap kit with all the replacement straps?
