Really though you could run it from any portion of the body metal to any portion of the engine metal and it would work fine as long as you clean the mounting locations completely down to bare metal.
as noted it will go to any solid engine mount. Some have lugs for the grounds others just seem to be bolted to any convenient well placed bolt that is fastened to the engine. Normally these things are less than 10 inches in length so should be able to see where it tore off from. If not just find a good solid place to bolt to.
can someone just look at there truck for two seconds please and tell me where
that ground strap goes to?
I went out and looked at mine before I posted that comment. Mine is in a different location than yours. Mine bolts to the body metal almost all the way to the far left passenger side and runs back behind the HVAC box and appears to bolt to the back of the intake manifold, under the firewall. As mentioned a couple of times now, you can make your own and mount it anywhere as long as you have bare metal contact and enough slack cable to allow engine flex.
The 2005s have a connection to a stud at the back of the passenger side head. It is the same stud that mounts the coolant tube that goes to the heater core. I don't know if the 2000s were the same way or not.
