    Mine is a dirty, nasty hand ground copper slate from black John in Memphis, it's about 25 years old. It has seen use to drive 32 pill black John box.

    They both bleed 80 channels up and down, blow up old school TV's and make little old ladies hide in bushes.

    I once had a freightliner fld and believe it or not whenever i turn right side turn signal on my engine shut off, and this is while rolling.

    It was a ground issue, don't ask me why it didn't do the same with the left side turn signal.

    One thing for sure when i called the shop and explained them the issue, i momentarily lost all my credibility....as soon as the truck got in the shop i have regain everything that lost.
