Correct Positive Battery Cable?

I'm really struggling to find the correct positive battery cable for my 2000 F250 Super Duty with v10 engine. Everything either doesn't have the connection to the solenoid or has an extra post connector that I have no clue where it would attach to.


Can someone tell me where I can find the correct cable? A part # maybe? If the one with the extra post connector on it is the correct one, where is that extra connector attaching to?

I had some custom made but they are not right. I've contacted the guy and he came back with some specifications for me. (see below) I'm not knowledgeable about electrical stuff at all so don't know if these are correct. Any help?


battery to starter: 1/0, 63" with 3/8HD-90 (battery connection on starter)
add 6 ga 30" with 5/16 (start relay)

relay to starter
10 ga 72" with 5/16 (relay) and 1/4 (start signal on starter)

I'm not knowledgable about it either. We have battery stores around here; if you have something like that where you live, I'd go there and see if they can figure it out.

That part # shows to be for a 5.4. The Ford part # for the 10 cyl is YC3Z 14300-GA with a Motorcraft # of WC95597-B.
