is it just me or did

this actually make a difference?..... normally when i start my truck the starter is kinda slow...but it still starts the truck...even after i replaced the ground with some 4 GA wire...but then the other day i replaced it with some 2 GA wire and now my starter sounds like its movin allot faster...does this mean if i replaced the positive cable with some 2GA wire then it would move even faster?

It might, but there is a limit to how much the wire can help. The point is to get the least restricted flow of electricity. Once you have made good solid connections and have a wire gauge that is capable of that flow....you won't get any more from it.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
