Of course the battery needs a ground. The + cable from the battery splits and runs to the alternator, starter and main fuse box. The negative cable from the battery runs along the frame rail, grounds at the shock tower, and then grounds again at the starter.
Edit...I mentioned to check all the battery connections in post #7.

Have you tested the alternator yet?

if the battery is good dat means my alternator is bad right? or i could just have a bad ground connection
