Recently replaced batteries and now I have a new DC alternator and cable on its way.

A few weeks ago I was cleaning and checking out the ground wires and they definitely look like they lived all 9 years in salty New England.

I'd like to replace them and was wondering if anyone had any quality replacement recommendations.

* Batteries are Diehard Platinums group 65 AGM 930 CCA.
DieHard Platinum Automotive Battery - Group Size 65 (Price with Exchange) - Automotive - Batteries - Car Batteries

* New alternator will be the DC Alternator 190 OEM with their 1/0 cable kit.

* Truck has no aftermarket stereo, winch, accessories etc.

Based on my set up, any thoughts on good ground wire kits?
Are dealer / NAPA / etc alright?

Thanks.

 

If you want to to PM me with your email address I can show you the order I had made up from a company called Trystar Custom Cables..... they make that fancy wire in the upgrade kit that DC Power sells! It's all oxy-free!

They will put the ends on for you and everything. If you got the 1/0 upgrade kit then there are only 2 other cable sets left for you to buy and Trystar has the specs from when I ordered mine. One is the positive battery to battery lead, and the other is a fancy ground setup for the passenger side battery.

The ground upgrade that comes in your kit can only be used best on the drivers side battery.

 

Oh and another thing...... they sell it cheaper than DC Power does!

 

PM sent with the email address. Thanks very much!

 

If you wanted to stay with the factory ground cables they would suffice as well.... the cable is not quite as good but it is still a 1 gauge ground.... only the battery to battery positive lead should be upgraded. My truck is an '05' and that was the case on it anyways.
