Re: grounds
Mine is bolted right on the motor mount perch, at the frame. then I ran on #8 from there to the cab, where the heater mounts are, just so they motor ground on the rear of the motor would have the best ground

Re: grounds
my battery's in the back, so ground from batt goes to frame, one from motor to frame, one from frame to cab, and one from motor to cab....

Re: grounds
I ran two big grounds. One over the drivers side and bolted to the block at the OE location. The other goes down to the passenger side frame rail.

Re: grounds
I wouldn't think an aluminum head would be my 1st choice. My battery ground and efi system main ground go to the block (fr&bk). Block to frame, frame to cab and frame to bed.

Re: grounds
I haven't had any problems with my ground connected to the aluminum head verses the cast iron block. Not all blocks are cast iron, some are aluminum.
