DAN !!! YOU GENIUS ! LOL
I just went out (remembered how to test) and tested resistance from ground mount to ground mount on the mounts and on the wires themselves in all the spots I could see. I wish I would've known about resistance testing before I put that cable from the alt to the frame cause now this is all coming back to me from when I did a bunch of this testing on my car.

The alt cable itself measures .5 ohm and from the alt body to the frame where its mounted is about .6-.7 but starts off initially at 1.7 till I press firmly. - As far as I'm concerned this cable needs to go. I thought it was still good, but apparently not. I'd rather have it closer to 0 ohm... at most a .3 ohm.

The real problem though seems to be right where you suggested to check at the battery negative cable. The negative THICKEST cable is actually perfect at 0 ohms, but when i measured the other two lil ones connected there the one closest to the driver side fender measures like 1.6 - 1.7 ohms. From remembering what a guy told me when I did this on my car anything over 1 is bad. DUDE !!!! THANKS FOR JARRING MA BRAIN!

At least now I know for sure that something was wrong here with the grounds and that my dropping resistor also is defunct. Perhaps these two things will yield me a FIX !!!!!!!! *$)_!*$)**** PERHAPS PERHAPS ! If it doesn't then at least thats something else out of the way and I can then focus on the O2's again or whatever else. I'm gonna price a new negative cable, but it would be nice if I could just fix it myself.
