Re: Grounding Straps

I used standard battery cables from Wal Mart on my truck. Last year, just after the engine rebuild, I would occasionally have starting issues. It was slow to turn over so I replaced the battery, thinking the old one was getting weak. New battery and the same issue. I replaced both battery cables with new, heavier cables and like mentioned above, negative to block and positive to starter. I also added another block to frame battery cable. Total investment was somewhere around $25, and almost a year later, and I have not had any more of that problem.
