I'm changing out my pos and neg cables.
The neg has one ground wire with two eyelets where the bolts go through, one is hooked to the frame but the other I don't know where it goes, can someone help me with this?

Is the replacement cable identical to the one you removed?– CharlieRBCommented Mar 5, 2018 at 15:23

The ground wire will usually run from the battery to the chassis and then onto the engine.
Some vehicles will do this with one single length - which is what yours sounds like and others will have separate ones. So, the engine / gearbox may have a strap at the end of the gearbox across the gearbox rubber mount because it is shorter and cheaper..
A picture would help but this is the most common system. to provide the necessary grounding - starter motors take a lot of current.
