I am no techie but I was forced to deal with this issue after I got my truck home, cables were internally rotten.
I purchased stuff through genuine dealz online(google it).
Partly because they make it so easy to order the wire, shrink wrap, lugs and little pellets.
And I was able to do it myself in the vice at home rather easily.
I also moved to those marine type posts so I could take the wingnut off easily and connect extra things, etc.
They seem to do the job, I can't vouch for technically what is better.
We had the cable to the starter arch on the battery tray a couple months ago which was our fault because we forgot the conduit on that run.
One of those cables let loose at the lug. At first glance it appeared sound until I tugged on it and it came out. The 2 marine posts melted in a way to let loose of the battery posts, but the negative melted through the battery on that side.
Was actually able to pop the hood and use a tshirt to stop the mini fire
And surprsingly wrapped the exposed wires in tape, and got it jumped and drove it home.
that place is great. prices are real good and free shipping. thanx!
