    I had some weird ground issues when I would use any of the frame ground points near the bed area. I was only running some lights and cigarette ports back to the side of the bed, so not sure what was being so finicky.

    I had ran 10gauge which is overkill for what I was doing with it. I re-did everything numerous times before I said fuck it, and ran marine duplex cable (10gauge) all the way to the battery. Haven't had a single issue since.

    Just FYI in case you start chasing your tail over wiring issues.
