Can someone take a picture of their battery for me?
I already know what the battery looks like. 
What I need is to find out where the small cable that comes off the negative cable terminal goes. I don't have a battery hold-down, so my battery has been sliding around. Apparently, it tore that small wire out of wherever it used to go, and I'm wondering if this isn't a big part of what's been making my truck hard to start lately.
Anyway, just a picture of that area showing where the small cable goes would be great.

My trucks at home so I can't take a pic but it probably goes to the body, somewhere on the inner fender near the battery, but any good clean bolt on the body should work.

Took a closer look at it today and it appears that the constant and wide movement of the battery tore this ground cable in two. I got a braided copper ground strap from Napa and put it on. We will see if it helps my recently-lousy cold starts tomorrow morning.
