I'm missing one of my battery clamps and have been searching without luck for a replacement. Other than the dealer does anyone have a source or recommendation? TIA

Don't know what you're asking - the hold down clamp (there's only one) or one of the cables or the plastic devices that hold down the plastic battery compartment cover??

try pelican parts, they should have it

Here is a shot of the clamp on the passenger side and what I thought was the missing driver side clamp (and a more interesting pic). I did visit Pelican Parts but could only find older vehicle clamps unless I just missed it - will double check. Thanks!

Found one on EBay.

Also, you don't have the correct size battery. It's supposed to slide all the way to the right (driver's side) so that the lip on the battery fits under the lip on the tray. Then the one hold down clamp on the passenger side does it's job.

Absolutely correct.....

Mix up some warm water and baking soda and pour on the battery try to desolve that white build up.

There are at least three mounting holes on the passenger side of the battery tray.
One for battery sizes:
48 - small, MTP-H7, intermediate size usually the one *Interstate has on the truck, and 49 - largest that fits also no threads so needs nut/bolt held from under bottom.
Some have a 4th mounting hole for a smaller size battery 46.

You should take the bolt out of your tray and slide the battery over so the ledge on the driver’s side is locked under the tray lip on the driver's side.

**While you are at it you should consider taking the battery tray out and washing it with a baking soda water mix. It looks like the battery may have been loose enough to jostle around and spill some acid, white residue in pics.

Battery sizes that fit =
