    Odyssey Extreme ODP-AGM 78 (800 CCA). If you are replacing your battery and desire to also replace the battery hold down retainer, do not replace it with GM part number 84109393 (i.e., the part specified by GM). It is too deep and tall.

    Yes, the other half is missing. From the factory, the charcoal canister purge line would have been routed above the PCV line. The item circled in the photograph is to secure the purge line to the PCV line.
