Hello Dean H. It was very informative reading through this post, and helpful in my decision to make some of these modifications to help with some of my Journey's issues. I would greatly appreciate gaining insight from a couple questions that I have, should you be available to answer them. I read through this all thoroughly, but want to confirm a couple things. From what I can see, from the drivers side strut tower, you made modifications including the 2" mending bars. It also appears that a thick wire on the negative jump post was added/changed/modified? I know that the original front lug here is for the wire going down to connect to the battery behind the wheel well. I just wanted some clarity as to what this seemingly new wire is for and where it goes? Also on the smaller "middle" positioned ground stud on the drivers strut tower there is a new wire in the photos that travels down somewhere. I'd like to know where this goes as well. As I understand it, I need to run a wire from the engine ground stud under the vacuum pump into the car through the firewall grommet, alongside the transmission shifter cable. If that is correct, I wanted to know about how long this cable needs to be, I want to cut the correct length... and to be sure, I can connect this same cable to the interior dash bracket (next to cabin air filter, behind glove box to the left, the brownish copper colored bracket that has nut/bolt already placed on it)? I wasn't going to be running wires to under the seats at this time, and wanted to be sure that the wire ran to the dash bracket would ground the TCM and other important components here. I greatly appreciate any insight and assistance with my questions.
