01 Silverado 5.3l replaced head gasket now radio resets and im getting shocked Sign In

Hay guys I have an 01 Silverado LS 5.3L. I replaced my head gaskets last week n since then my amp guage is running a lil high n my radio resets every time I turn my truck off (wasn't happening before) then the other night I went to reset my odometer after getting gas n I got shocked immediately following my truck died. I went to re-start my truck and the ignition shocked me pretty good too?!?!?!?? Today I noticed I forgot to hook the ground wire from the back of the RH head to the firewall. I don't know where it connects to the back of the head so I ran the ground from a bolt on the front of the head to another ground stud on the firewall. Didn't make any difference?? I'm still having the same problems!! If anyone thinks they might know what's going on, or what it could be, or just have any input AT ALL I would REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE IT! Thanx

WOW! This went totally wrong. Have to suggest that you disconnect negative battery connection now. Seems there's no telling what wiring went where or other damage done, probably lots,

Sounds like you still have wires connected wrong or not at all. Double check the battery cables are connected correctly, especially all the negative cables.

  where were you getting shovked- turning key? leaning on frnder?
vehicle wont start - is the CEL ck eng light on?

The radio resets - did you check fuse for memory? Sorry cannot remember the GM term (IOD)

When you worked on vehocle head- where was key? did you start with step 1 remove - cable?
THese questions might help us understand issue better

Hay kev2, I got shocked when I pushed the odometer reset peg and right when it shocked me (as it was shocking me) my truck died while driving. When I went to turn the key to restart it I got shocked again by the ignition tumbler where you insert your key

The truck starts and seems to run just fine. There is no check engineer light on either. And yes I did disconnect the battery cables before starting the head gaskets repair a week and a half or so ago (when I got shocked n it killed the truck was 3 days ago) when I first started the truck when I was done with the head gaskets my truck radio would shut off when I bit any buttons like rear defrost or AC. But then it stopped. The amp guagesits a little higher Thanx normal all the time and doesn't drop back to normal at all.
