I did my big three to the frame on my 03 Sonoma...

I believe they changed a lot between 01 and 03 though.

Did you do the big 3 to yours? If you did could you take a picture of the ground to the frame.

took this a while back. camera's broke so i can't take a new one right now. you can see where the wires go down though. it's directly below the alternator.

If your going to do it do it right. ground right to the frame in the front and right from the frame in the back.

Ok, how hard is it to access without taking the alt out.

it's on the frame down towards the oil pan. not really that close to the alternator. look straight down in that space and you can see the frame below.

Found the spot, big question now is how did you do it, laying under the truck?

Either should work I would assume, as its an electrical loop, series type circuit.

yes. it's easier than it looks. there should be a threaded hole, but if not, you can drill one and make threads with a tap set or use a nut, washer and bolt. make sure you clean the metal up good.

it's all grounded there from the factory. battery and block. it's worked just fine on my previous sonoma and my current s-10.

heres where i grounded mine....if you look in your passenger side tire well you see 2 holes in the frame with 2 big *** bolts in them.....

i unbolted one of them with a 3/4 deep well socket and hooked the wire like this underneath....

**** it never looked so rusted when i was under it....a 03 too!! F Florida!
