Seeking Miltary Grade replacement battery cables 03 2500 diesel

Hi All,

I have an 03 diesel 2500 2wd truck I bought new. Yesterday I was getting the GAGE Check error and one of my gauges and sometimes 2 of them were not working. I opened the hood this morning and I found that 3 of my connections to my battery cable (positive side - 1on drivers and 2 on passenger) connections (goes over bolt that holds battery cable down BROKE. I have ordered a new set of assorted copper connections>

I've used this type battery clamp. I tried paste the amazon address but it wouldn't let me. I bought loose cable and soldered myself and heat shrink tubing.

I replaced the negative cables on my truck and bought military grade terminal connectors, buying both from McMaster-Carr. The cable weren't necessarily military grade, but they have a good range of cable gauges, so I went up in size a notch or two from the OEM cables. The cable was sold by the foot, so I made sure I bought enough and cut it to length at the time of installation. I don't have a crimper for the non-terminal ends, so I had an electrical supply place down the road do that operation.

I've seen that set of battery cables. Have you bought and installed them? Just looking to have to do this only once...

I'm using this set without issue, really well built. Swapped my old cables out when I replaced my OEM alternator at 230K, Wanted to do the cables to be through and reduce the chance of a battery fire.

 

Wouldn't Welding cables be a better choice?

 

I bought a set from these guys.

They are the mfg. of the Geno's listed cable set. Their business card and sticker came with mine.

 

When I bought mine they were cheaper through Geno's.

 

I made mine. Some cable, eyes, and military style terminals. All you need is a vice, some solder & flux, and a propane torch. Oh, and some heat shrink tubing.
