Got mine at Napa. I think they are 2 or 0 gauge I can't remember. They are 20 ft long and will start my truck.

0 or 2 awg is recomended 4 gauge is good for normal cars and trucks but these diesel require alot of crank, especially when cold

my napa will make custom cables...pick your length and wire size and they will fab a set.
that way you can get what you want and not be limited by the "on the shelf" products
