I Found A Broken Ground Strap ...
While replacing my O2 sensors and catalytic converter a couple of weekends ago, I noticed a broken ground strap.
Fairly small woven binding strap hanging from the somewhere above the front mid-pipe to catalytic converter flange. May even have been connected to one of the mid-pipe to catalytic converter flange bolts.
Anyone know if this might be especially essential?
I have been having some alternator/starting/charging issues.

Theoretically the whole exhaust should be grounded back to the cylinder head. The bolts bridge the gaps from the gaskets. The strap could be insurance against lots of rusty bolts. I no loner have the strap on my max and I also have no issues.
