guys, talking down to someone only alienates them.
it is much better to try to educate people non competitively.
the best we can do is offer advice. if people want to take it, so be it. if they wish to ignore the advice because someone they trust told them otherwise, so be it also.
to FordOwnerJoey, your mechanic may have been pulling wrenches for 35 years.
some people think because they have been doing something for a long time what they know is golden.
we are never too old to learn new things.
i am 57, and have been pulling wrenches since i was 12 years old on the farm fixing tractors.
i am still open to suggestions, and just last week had a 19 year old show me a new trick on fuel injection testing.
so just because we think something is so, does not make it so.

Anybody that tells you a frame is a good place to ground something does not know what they are talking about.
If you do not think so about the frame being a ground ask out site expert on electrical Dave F, AKA Franklin2.
You can find him over on the Electrical forum:
Electrical Systems/Wiring - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
All I ever tried to do in your thread is help you but it is hard to get through to you.
Your the one who made the statement about running the ground wire that led to what I said about your mechanic. If you ask your mechanic about it I am sure he will tell you to move the ground.

as Bill said, the frame is the worst possible place to hook something up for a ground unless you have put a battery to ground cable on, because the frame is usually not grounded.
vehicle ground systems from battery to block, then block to body. the body is isolated from the frame by rubber grommets. so unless a separate battery to frame ground cable was installed most of the time you will have a problem getting a good ground from the frame..

Ford owner joey
First off Subford "Bill" has helped numerous folks here on the message board. He goes out of his way to answer questions that have been extremely helpful not only to myself but hundreds maybe thousands of other folks seeking advise. He is not an *** but a very credible person on this message board. Youll find you will get more with sugar than vinegar!!
Dont take this as an attack but a lesson in respect please.
