OBS GMT400 Rear Ground Strap Replacement

In this video I show the replacement of the rear fuel filler grounding strap on my 1998 Chevy K1500 with the 350ci engine. This replacement procedure should be identical or very similar to most 1988 and up GMT400 platform vehicles. Be sure to like, share and subscribe for more upcoming OBS Chevy adventures!

Star washers sure are nice

[@jwanthuis]

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

[@bengoolie5197]

Good job!

[@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.

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

[@chizzlebeatz]

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

[@joeh2085]

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!

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.
