Since I like to do things the less thought out way, I attached the ground wire sandwiched between two washers to the bolt head side [left in the picture] (which looks cleaner). As pictured with "their" install - this individual chose to get a 15mm longer M6-1.0 flange head bolt and fastened with a washer and nut to it - brilliant!

Where I mounted the 4AWG 18" ground wire on the motor side, securing to the negative jump post on the frame.

$46 for a 20" piece of cable is nuts.

Here's (2) 18" 4-ga cables for $12

I found what what I think was an added ground strap on my girls Durango when I swapped out her exhaust. There's a braided silver strap that connects the chassis exhaust mount to the exhaust hanger. Only reason I can think of is that it's a ground strap. Easy on/off with clips on each end.

I picked my straps up from AutoZone $8-$12 per strap. Anything more is highway robbery.

The point was to show an all-in-one source for the OP that has the cable and video on how to address the situation. I am aware you can put your own cable together for less.

Haha, the real highway robbery isn't a $40 cable but a $4M learing center.

Context? $4M learning center? What are they teaching there? Lol. Now I'm curious.

It's for the children. Even though there's no children there, ever. Kinda weird though how their phone number rings and goes right to the governors office

You didn't pay attention to the spelling
