[QUOTE="AlterEgo99, post: 5979951, member: 610253"] In my '08 Silverado, the battery is located up against the firewall on the passenger side. I have an empty location for another battery in the typical GM truck battery location, just behind the driver side front headlight. The present ground from the battery is a 4 gauge wire from the negative post of the battery to the engine block. I did note the loop you are talking about that it runs through that is managing the voltage. Interesting. Had not noticed that before until you mentioned it! [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif[/IMG] There is also a braided ground wire from the engine block (between the rear of the block and the firewall - looks like a pain in the ass to get to!) to a bolt on the firewall. This is located to the rear of the block on the driver side. Looks a bit crappy to be honest. So, I am curious if it is OK to remove the present ground during the "Big 3" upgrade from the battery and connect the new 0 gauge ground to the chassis instead, or should it go back to the same location on the block? And should I remove the present braided ground wire from the block to chassis and simply replace it with 0 gauge or leave it and simply supplement it with 0 gauge at the same location? Whaddya think?
