What NHTSA recorded

When in operation, the pre-heater requires good engine ground. However, the alternators are not grounded through the case, limiting the ground for engine electrical components. The pre-heater amperage can then ground to the steel braided air compressor hose which is secured in a rubber lined clip. In some circumstances, the clip can contact the frame rail causing an arc.

Possible consequence

This condition can cause a hole to be burned through the air line, preventing the air compressor from delivering sufficient air pressure to the braking system reducing brake capability and increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

Remedy

Dealers will install a 6 gauge ground cable between the engine and the existing starter ground cable located inside the frame rail.
