Cleaning grounds is a normal practice in the geo metro community. It made one heck of a difference to my Miata, and my Ranger was doing all sorts of weird things before I cleaned it's grounds, like trying to die when I turned on the turn signals. Restoring power and MPG is just one reason to do it.

It’s a badly neglected system (including grounds). The upgrade means ALL ELSE on the vehicle runs well (as designed).
First time I did the B3 was on two XJs we owned.
CustomBatteryCables will the source starting point for my turbocharged diesel pickup. The B3 is possible, and a second alternator is likely (as well as yet more batteries).
The electrical SHOULD be treated as a system, not repair and wait for more problems.
80% of the time a vehicle is in the shop it is electrically related. 1959 or 2019.
Reliability IS economy.
