A question for y'all today: is taking your grounding connections straight off the battery (+) post the wrong thing to do? I'm hooking up a tail light power converter (Modulite HD) AND an electronic brake (Tekonsha P3) on my 95'Chev 3/4T pickup. There are several GM Ground points in the engine compartment and at the back end too, but many of them, more than I want to clean up right now, are kind of crudded up, apparently not badly enough to keep anything from working for the time being. I'll get to them later. I've already cleaned up the main one at the battery to the frame. I could clean and use one of them closest to the under hood fuse box, but I'm wondering if there is any advantage/disadvantage to just running say a #10 or #8 wire directly over to the (+) terminal on the battery. Or am I asking for trouble in some way I don't yet know about?? Looking for max/best possible ground to reduce future difficulties. Thankin' you in advance for your help here! BTW Reason for the question: I'm upgrading the Tow Vehicle wiring to the trailer plug (all bigger wires and 7 instead of 6) and adding a new Electric Brake to accommodate my "new" 1977 Trailer-Eze 8X20 12,000Lb. cap. trailer. Gonna make that pup shine like new, don'tchaknow! Might even run it bare(nekkid)in the 4th of July parade if it comes out as good as I want it to. It'll likely get more whistles than the gals down at the farm store!

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
