That wire I don't think is a ground. It should be the positive wire to run the power to inside the truck.

That’s the positive lead to the drivers positive post.

Check one, don’t hook it up and no power to anything in the truck. Nada.

Check two, set your multimeter to ohms or continuity, attach one lead to the eyelet, touch some other positive contact, light bulb (switched on) fuse panel, whatever.

Also if you trace that cable backwards past the reservoir you’ll find there are fusible links spliced in there. Fusible links are always on positive cables, never negative.
