2010 Ram 1500 5.7 Starter Issues

[jws123]

Just installed rebuilt 5.7 motor in a 2010 ram I am working on problem I am having is it will turn over sometimes most of the time not. This was a issue before the motor work If I ground starter to battery NEG it fires right up every time no issues. I cleaned all grounds I could find where/how exactly does the starter ground on these trucks. If someone has a diagram for all ground straps il go around see if any are missing.
Thanks.

Best bet is to do search here for the 2009 service manual, the link is posted on a few threads here. I use it for my 2010 and haven't found any differences so far. It has both service info and wiring diagrams. It is finicky to get to work, the best way is to use the IE Tab extension in Chrome, install the extension, open the default.htm page with Chrome, enable the extension, allow blocked content, and it runs fine.

Ok thanks will try to load manual I got it to work for now by running a new cable from starter bolt on bell housing to frame. I still would like to find the original issue this truck use to be used for EMS work so it had wires and lights all over.
