    I'm trying to locate all ground wires on my 780 with ISX. How many are there? I've only found one going to engine block. Any diagrams out there ?

    What year is it? There's the one at the engine block, which also goes to the frame. That's the main ground to the chassis. As KB stated, there's multiple grounds at the front of the cab, near the steering column. Are you only looking for chassis grounds, or every ground circuit in the truck? If you give me the year I can get you a schematic.

    I have an 08 and I changed out two ground straps and cleaned the rest that were still in good shape. Time consuming task but well worth it. It cured a bunch of electrical problems I was chasing
