Look around under the oil filter.

 

Whatever came of this? Bill what was your reasoning?

 

As Mt Goat and Dropzone said, there is a ground close to the oil filter pad that goes to the frame, and at least on my truck (5VZ) there is another at the passenger rear cylinder head going to the firewall near the heater control valve. HTH.

 

I have one goes to the engine block.

Another goes to the frame

One goes to one of the inner fender bolts

The one for the ECM goes direct to the battery.

 

Can a strut bolt work as a substitute?

 

Yes for a frame ground but you still want one to the engine block.

Because the starter grounds through the bolts via the block
