W-T Ground mod, kinda confused? Quick Help.

[Stanley]

So I'm mid way guess doing this and  can understand he group of wires that get spliced into a larger gauge wire, those all get cut and put into a ring terminal at the suggested vp44 ground. Then a ground wire from drivers side battery to same ground spot at vp44 with other wires. 

 

The rest of the wires just go back where they supposed to go...

 

Now I have the alternator wire that goes straight over to the fuse block. If I'm reading it right I'm supposed to remove it from here then connect back to alternator and route to POS battery on passenger side???

What am I doing with the blank location at the fuse block? 

 

Lastly what am I doing with these grounds just point the one ring terminal back to neg on passenger side battery? 

 

Please let know what I'm missing or not understanding.

Also the ground spot  by vp44 I assume this is just a hole to mount ring terminals to, connecting wire from battery to here thus making the ground. Cause the housing where the bolt would go is aluminum. Alot of this is not stated so I'm just making sure this is what is actually happening lol.

I ran that ground to the driver battery, but I also have extra grounds throughout, not recommended but works good. Called bonding, ok if everything else checks out.

Thanks. @IBMobile helped me out a bunch. I think I have a handle on it now

Your on the right path. Your doing fine... The alternator lead is move to the passenger side positive. The alternator fuse is no longer used. Then the grounds are shorten up and ring terminal put on it and mounted to the gear case. I use a bit of the old cable to jump from the driver side batter negative to the the same bolt of where the grounds are.

I might have to use the standard equivalent/kinda close for now. I have no idea where to find a M5 bolt lol. And I have 30ft wall bolt bin! Never ran across one... maybe Amazon haha. 

[Stanley]

Yea not looking so good for bolts..... is there an M5 on the truck I can rob till I find another? Or I got a 1/4-20 tap....

I obtained the metric bolt from my local ACE Hardware store and it's considered quite common. The location on the housing where you're going to place this ground connection is tapped perfectly for this metric application. I'm sorry you're having difficulties locating a source for this single bolt.

Yea I'll search around more tomorrow. For now I just used the stud for wiring harness clamp on vacuum pump. Prolly just a good aye?

That's what I would have used if I hadn't had a 5mm bolt lying around. The only difference is the diameter of your ring terminal.  A ground to the case by bolt or stud is still a ground.
