. . .battery cables!!

[flatlander]

Mine are shot (old brown, not that damn truck everything in it is new) and now that it's cold it won't start. I have to get under the hood and wiggle them to make good contact so that I can cycle the glow plugs and start it. But tonight it wouldn't go. So I guess I'll screw around with them in the morning.

Just wanted to rant a little since I'm not going to spend a nickel to actually fix them right.

This is where I'll go to get new cables whenever I need them.

I am going to stuff the terminal with copper strands from a #6 thhn wire and pound the terminal on with a hammer. Worked before but the strands have worked their way out from swapping batteries this fall.
