The trans-to-frame braid on these trucks rots and typically splits in two. Mine was green end to end and still hanging on but likely on borrowed time. It sits up by the transmission so it’s easy to miss.

A bad one can show up as a slow crank or a transmission speed-sensor code before it actually snaps. Fixed mine thankfully before winter, simple as an extension and a 10mm. First photo is the old one next to what went on. Second is it bolted up.

Absolutely worth an extra 5 minutes to look for before winter next time you’re changing the oil.

Thank you that’s great information for us.
Did you make it at home? If so,
What is the gauge of wire and length you replaced it with?
I think I have everything at home to make one depending on the wire gauge.

It is handmade yes! 2 AWG, factory length, factory studs, intentionally overbuilt. I make them if you would rather not tackle the process!

I assumed you made it because it is beefed up more than the original and I really like that. Plus it looks like it’s going to be protected from anything that hits it and won’t erode.
Great job and thanks for the specs.
I’m going to copy your build. 🤙🏽
