For using a battery tender on a 2021 Ram 1500 with 5.7L V8 Hemi engine with eTorque, where is the location of the ground stud in the engine bay (not the negative terminal on the battery)?

I am still curious if anyone has located a stud for use as a negative ground connection while using a Battery Tender. I prefer to not use the negative terminal on the battery itself. Other trucks/cars I have owned all had a separate bolt stud marked as a ground connection but not so for a 2021 Ram 1500 Longhorn apparently. Please advise.

You can use the negative one of the several terminals attached to the fuse block

I saw on a video, where a guy connected a multi meter or something similar to a stud was sticking out of the drivers side of the radiator support. it seems like it was above the fuse box

If there is not one on your truck, you can drill a hole & insert one, using a copper bolt or a regular one

Otherwise, clamp onto any bolt or metal part on the engine
