So that means i have a bad ground somewhere between the jump terminal and the alternator, right? It is to my understanding that the starter itself is grounded by design because it mounts against the engine so is it the grounding strap? I'm gonna replace the grounding strap regardless just because it's a cheap fix.

You got it! Although I've replaced my corroded strap with a battery cable the way your previous owner did and it has worked well for several years. It's just in a bad, exposed location
