(bump - 'cause I'm commuting with the wife!)

Quick question: does the alternator get its link to ground through the engine? I have not checked the grounding cable(s) from the engine to the chassis yet - a friend of mine at work recommended using some long jumper cables directly from the battery to the alternator just to rule out any potential corrosion issues.
