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

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?
