I am trying to chase down a troublesome grounding problem on truck #1. Truck won't crank from time to time, yet batteries appear to be charged. Another symptom is this truck has problems powering trailer lights and e-brakes consistantly. Truck #2 works fine and so does the same trailer behind it. (Lots of general weirdness going on with old #1...)

Could someone give me a list of all the battery/chassis/engine/alternater grounding points to have tracked down and checked tomorrow when its in for service?

I plan to have the batteries both load tested and all contacts cleaned and coated with dielectric grease. If either battery is weak, I'll replace both.

HELP PLEASE!!!

Others have mentioned that on '94 the batt/starter cable is critical to power distribution; loose conn at starter is unacceptable.
