Red face Battery Post Pinch Solution

Hey Superduty owners!

Yesterday both batteries were dead after my truck sat for about a month. When i was cleaning my battery posts, one of the pinch bolts snapped. I called the dealer and a whole new OE cable is going to run about $115, special order. Until then, I found a temp solution. A $2.99 repair. I used a radiator hose clamp.

Hope this is helpful folks! Happy New Superduty Year!
