It has been obsolete for years but I am looking to replace the negative cable on the passenger side. I really would rather refurbish my chewed up ends rather than to get a junkyard one but my first preference is to buy a new one. Anyone know where one can be had or is substitution ok with say one from a Powerstroke 7.3 truck?
Go to a place that sells welding cable and just buy you the correct length of appropriate sized cable and make your own. It will handle the current just fine, and the multiple, smaller strand wires will be a little more resistant to corrosion.

You show already know this without me saying it. Cables should be tight. If 10 ft/lbs of torque is good, 60 is better and 200 is best.
The PO FUBARED it and I have been gently limping it along and thought that sooner or later, I should replace the ends.
