If you don't bond anything else, bond the tail-pipe end of the exhaust to 
the nearest frame of the truck.  If you don't want to do that yourself, go 
to your neighborhood muffler shop, tell them what you want and they will be 
able to tack-weld your bonding strap between the two in about a minute's time.

Every time I have done that, it has solved 70%-80% of my ignition noise 
problems.  The remaining 20%-30% can be a lot more difficult to eliminate.
