    Ah I see. Yes. New OEM cable.

    Yeah I was referring to the little one... 2008 doesn't have that.

    Correct. The head and block aren't the same part of an engine. They're connected to each other which is how i'm guessing the starter gets ground.

    On the gmt900 l92 from the factory from the battery, they have a thick cable going to the head and a thinner cable going behind the front bumper. Its been like that for the last 312,000 miles with zero issues lol

    Voltage drop on the 12v side yes. But I have none. It's only ground side.

    Mine didn't come with that small ground on the head where the battery ground goes to. I'll try to add one to the alternator bracket.

    No just above the exhaust manifold there are empty threaded holes.

    There are no ground cables going directly to block on these from what I can tell.

    Or maybe adding a ground strap from firewall to alt/power steering bracket? I know some of em came with that.

    I already added a new oem ground strap from firewall to the head but didn't make a difference. Added it to a different location and doubled it up with factory old ground as people seem to recommend around here. And there's no direct to block ground that I know of on these.

    UPDATE! I hooked a 1 gauge jumper cable from the battery ground to the firewall ground and it started right up. I then disconnected it and it's constantly starting normally now but I still have about 1.25v of voltage drop at the firewall ground when starting. I'm thinking of adding a ground...

    The voltage drop test shows that there's a ground issue. The starter casing is how the starter grounds... There's no voltage drop across the 12v terminals.

    Yeah swapped Relays around with no difference.

    True but it did the same with a fully charged battery too. And no I haven't tried. Would I get a code for something like this?

    Was fully charged originally and still did the same.
