With each problem that arises I see Mike and the guys telling the person to
check the ground strap (engine to hood/brake cable/etc...).

So....ok, my first question is...where are all the common ground points (if
they are too numerous then give me the majors!)....
The next question....can you loosen the bolt and ------ around some
antioxidant goop around the location and of course screw down that bolt
again.
I've used Novalox, which is a copper goop that you coat around outdoor
connections (electrical/mechanical) and it prevents water from getting in.
Messy, but works!

I've put it on battery terminals (not the copper laden one)...but I've also
seen people with vaseline on their terminals.

Does anyone do anything to prevent these ground points from going bad?
