OBS GMT400 Rear Ground Strap Replacement

[@erictompkins8226]

Thank you for fixing that. Started watching the 1st video after a small breakfast and 2 large extra strong cups of coffee. So I was very twitchy when you bypassed the filler neck and grounded the already grounded bed. Loudly repeated "No! No! No! 's" were uttered.

To anyone with issues, I had no power to the fuel pump, ruled out the fuel pump relay being issue, switched out the fuel pump for a new one. Still no power to it when I turn the key I didn’t hear the humming of it priming. Found out the ground from the back of the motor to the firewall was broke, so I mounted a ground from the firewall to the frame, then from the frame, and went from the frame with another wire on to a bolt on the transfer case under the truck right by the starter. Car cranks right up. Still don’t have my ground on the fuel neck but I’ll fix it soon

🤔 hmmmmm will do that kind sir. My Limited ( 2000 Tahoe OBS ) died while attempting to place it in reverse to park at Harbor Freight. I laughed it off, ( dumb hot fuel pump relay ) which I always have a new spare. That didn’t work, the other thing I noticed was that fuel gauge jumped to 3’oClock … which never happened before. I have a nos Ac Delco MPFI Spider ( revised version ). Have warranty on my Ac delco fuel pump, just need to pick it up and swap the old pump.

Looks much better! Glad you stepped up to acknowledge help from viewers. You are a stand up guy. KZbin is for helping others and we all might have suggestions. Enjoyed the follow up.

I would recommend using a ground strap washer instead of a flat washer so it has some "bite" for better ground.

Good tip, thanks for sharing!

[@tompetry8589]

Just the video I needed. Ordered the strap and wasn’t sure where it went tell now, thanks man.

When I detached my filler neck today it straight fell out of the gas tank. Whoever played with the pump or tank last didn't put a hose clamp where the filler hose met the actual tank?!

Hi, the goal of that ground I believe is as a static spark pathway. :) thank you for making this

[@martinkolff5606]

That was a great fix. 😁. Some viewers are very keen on spotting things. Keep up the videos. I prefer Saab related ones. 😊

[@obsdwayne]

Awesome video brother 👌🏼

Takes a big man to admit that he is wrong....I am not that big man. Good job...way to readjust and fix the problem. Looks good. Cheers!

[@ernesttrader7364]

Star washers sure are nice

[@Concernedconservative]

You didn’t clean of the rust and treat it afterwards. Glad you put on that anti-seize

[@peterschena8486]

Is there a grounding strap that has one location under the battery? Said by 1Aauto, thatbit affects the abs system

[@kongchingpow]

Thanks for these videos! I am gonna do this to mine!

[@manuelalvarado8150]

Would this cause youre fuel pump to stay on I just found out my ground is cut

[@arresthillary9502]

7:42 you are screwing those 2 bolts to the fuel filler neck, connecting it to the body. connecting the grounding strap to one of those bolts is sufficient without disassembling the entire housing like you did. remove one screw, find some washers and a nut to fit the back side and connect the ground strap

Thank you for sharing

[@chizzlebeatz]

the ground strap under the fuel cap what does this one do exactly?

[@djyuhearme5504]

My ground strap sits awkward I need help 93 Chevy

[@josephrodwell6643]

Attaboy for correcting it

[@cmbrewer84]

I’m having an issue on my 96 where it will run for a while; once I try to restart it there is no crank. Battery is good and the alternator is new. Would the rear ground strap impact this issue?

[@chizzlebeatz]

i also have a 96 have a wierd ground issue where front light under headlight flickers. and the cluster dash is dim where it shows how much fuel you have. i noticed my ground strap is broken underneath fuel cap in the back. wonder if this is the problem?

[@cmbrewer84]

@@chizzlebeatz it ended up being an issue with the neutral positioning switch.
