Default Help, what the hell is this wire

hey guys, i just put new rings in my 2006 dodge 5.9 cummins megacab and have the engine back installed. Problem is i have a cable left over that im not sure where it goes. It looks like a battery cable ground except the eyelets on the end are small like smaller than a 1/4 bolt. I think it may have been on the drivers side engine block but not sure what it connected to? Help im sick of this engine project!
. its about 3 ft long

Great to hear! Drive it like you stole it! Find a trailer tow job and get paid to brake it in!

Question

So I have a question, my truck came from Texas and I live in jersey after I drove it home I realized the heater grid was disconnected. Both wires are there but are just loose by the grid, I'm confused as to how they should be hooked up because it looks like they would just short out. Any one have any pictures of the connections at the grid. Greatly appreciated.

Either way just hook them up the grid is a resistor which heats up as current goes to ground!
