    Save yourself alot of aggravation and run it inside like I mentioned earlier. Mine runs inside the pillar molding down along the dash and connected to a bracket by the pedals. Done.

    The guy with the 74 mile Freightliner Cascadia only uses a single braided ground strap connecting from the door to the door frame.
    The ground strap is probably six or seven inches long and bypasses the door hinge. He just took two bolts out and stuck the strap on there and put the bolts back in and he was done and it made a perfect RF ground from the door to the cab of the truck.

    That's how it's done, although it could have been connected to the top bolt on the door instead of wrapping around the hinge but either way it works.

    Wouldn't just one strap on one hinge create the ground?
