That totally sucks. Could be worse though, they could have taken your money and not sent you anything. (Would have just said "That sux", but FTE told me I have to type at least 10 characters.)

4 gauge gets pretty hot cranking over my little 6. The 0 gauge or bigger should do the trick. I think OEM on the new diesel pickups is 0 gauge. Fabbing stuff up just makes you appreciate and trust your truck that much more.

yea but new u buy a cable on line that looks oem and waht u get isa hunk of cable

No such thing as truth in advertising on the internet it seems...

Oh my Lord Joe, I haven't been around here for a couple of months and your typing skills still drive me nuts! No worries, don't change a thing buddy.

I agree with you, finding the right stuff on-line can be a pain sometimes. For electrical I try to buy locally first. That way I know what I have in my hand before I leave the store. And it makes it really my problem when the working fluid of electricity (aka "smoke") leaks out of the wires and things catch on fire; I have no one else to blame.
