So when I got the truck I noticed off the negative where the battery connects to the front frame there was just another ground wire dangling about. I read up and found out that a good spot for this is on the block on the lower hole where old motor mounts would go near where mechanical fuel pumps are. So I got a 3/8x3/4" long bolt, sanded the ground strap and the block where it connects, put a star washer on as well but the wire has tension on it:

Wire with tension rubbing against metal of battery holder box (I would imagine vibrations would shear this over time):

Wire Continuing past this point:

Close up of where I installed it on the block

The ground strap seems to be spliced into the area where it is on the body with the other ground strap or else I was thinking of maybe getting a longer wire. Is this one supposed to go on the frame instead as I've circled in green? and then maybe another ground from there to where I have it on the block? Alternatively I can maybe cut the wire in half and solder in another/heatshrink of the same gauge to lengthen it but I'm not sure what the proper fix is for this.
Regarding my A/C Condensation line the picture below:

The current stub just leaks onto the frame I would imagine this would cause rust over time? I want to somehow maybe put a larger tube on this and redirect it so where it's over the frame but I wanted some ideas
Thanks you all
