does the starter ground to the transmission? if it doesnt - can i ground it there? trans should be grounded through the engine right?

Dude, another starter question : What causes a starter to crank slowly? The battery is good, but the starter is weak acting. Bad ground?

 

Ground wire from the battery hooks to the lower starter bolt when you put it in. For weak starts you need to check every connection for corrosion. Or for a bad connenction. Yes a bad ground can give you weak starts.

 

I want to say the origingal ground strap for the starter went from the starter bolt to the fmm bolt... however I would go from the lower bolt to the drivers frame rail theres a few bolt holes for the battery tray... use one of those... better ground...

 

Attach ground cable to lower mounting bolt and start bolt.

 

got it. thanks. exhaust manfolds and exhaust need hooked up tomorrw. thats the last big thing. then some vac lines and hoses and fluid tanks.


what do i do with the vac lines that went into that thing that plugged into the egr since i blocked it off?

 

by "that thing" i think i mean the EGR solenoid

 

go to autozone and buy a package of vaccum cap plugs..they come in different sizes and colors...then just remove all the unnecessary vaccum lines and put caps on them....

 

cool. i didnt even know autozone sold vac. cap plugs. thanks.
