Well since I've owned this truck it hasnt started well in the winter, like its not getting full cranking power out of the batteries. I thought it was the batteries, but on closer inspection, the cables (both grounds are caroded about 4-5" away from the terminal, and the positive cables are black inside, not carroded but black. I dont know what the black means, but I know that much carrosion is bad. At this point Im looking into just buying new cables from this custombatterycables.com. Because the last time I went in to NAPA and built a set I didnt even get all the cables new (used part of my old cable) and still didnt get out of there for less that $100. And that guys stuff is supposedly bigger gauge.
Upon closer inspection (this truck is my low mile 83) I noticed that these cables are the original ford factory cables, and are cracked all the way down them in some spots.
Should I just replace the whole set?
