On the left chose the grounds link. Then it will show all the ground circuits and the number i.e. g202 of where they terminate. Then you can click on hide/show next to that number for an image showing where it is located.

Man that’s a great resource. I counted 19 total grounds, 2 with shared bolt/location, so 17 separate locations.
Couple questions:
1) for these truck (now ~ 15 years old), how common would it be to have corrosion or breakage within the battery or ground cabling (ie not visible).
2) any info/description on “ABC fuseable link” (see G101).
3) what are “10-11 grounds A” and “10-10 grounds A” as seen near G303 and G401, respectively.

You can do a voltage drop test when lead is under load , Basically your meter is attached from one end to the other no appreciable amount of volts should drop across the lead but you must have some current flowing thru lead ,the bigger the lead the more load will help.

2 the fusible links are between the battery and the engine inside a square plastic sheath3 the10-11 and 10-10 are the same wire but shown on two pages. Reference 10 on Pages 10 and 11

1 depends on the climate the truck is in and whether there is water intrusuon. If there is corrosion I'd be looking near the battery terminal and the 6 inches into the wire. Again if there is corrosion one indication is connections he getting hot.
