If this helps, you have a ground problem where the existing ground isn't enough. Should be:
Cable between battery and engine (alternator bracket, water pump bolt, or bolt on front of block by fuel pump)
Cable between battery and vehicle body (inner fender usually)
Cable between engine and vehicle body (firewall and valve cover bolt usually)
Cable between engine and chassis (valve cover bolt and frame)
Cable between chassis and vehicle body (under cab)


Thanks. I definitely do not have all of those ground points.
