Need to replace my positive cable. Does any one recommend a place to order? Part number? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I bought an assembly for my 2000 from Amazon [LINK] - but there is another option:

I couldn't find a whole assembly that would fit a '99, but you might have better luck.

Certain NAPA stores can custom make the cables for you at their store. Not all stores have the same capabilities.

I am think about getting a 3/0 or a 4/0 positive post to positive post made up. It seems that the passenger side battery needs replacement every 2 - 3 years.

Here is a shop that sells new cables:

Custom Battery Cables F350 cables


You could convert to military style battery connectors and then make your own cables with eyelets as another option.

Thanks everyone,

My cable is bad, green flaky stuff all under insulation. terminals are completely shot.

Does anyone know the right part #? I have a L99 f350 with single alt.
I see two different part #s on Amazon, first one is "Motor Craft WC9329D Battery cable switch" and the other is "Genuine Ford YC3214300CB Cable asy Battery".
Kind of in a bind and would like to order the right one. This is my hunting truck and I can't go until its fixed.

Thanks for the help

Gilbert

Here is a link to a place that sells copper terminals.

https://m.delcity.net/store/Flag-Pur...2.h_807707.t_1

They have a 4/0 positive that you can run a 4/0 to the second battery and a 3/0 to the starter. The cables are soldered not crimped.

Also consider cleaning your terminals rotating your batteries every oil change.
