The starter lug disintegrated into several pieces and the insulation on that line has shrunk overtime leaving about 2 inches of exposed copper. Already repaired the starter solenoid terminal as well. Thinking since I already have the tools, access to marine wire and with plans to run the truck long term it’s time to update. Unfortunately the part in the pic is ~464 alone from the dealer doesn’t seem worth buying in this case.
(pic above is for reference obviously would have chopped it open like a bbq sandwich if it was infront of me lol)

I just recrimped new barrel lugs on and used the existing wiring. I used those military connectors to tie the battery cables to the batteries.
So far so good, and didnt cost 400 bones. You can use a cheap hydraulic crimping tool (Amazon).
I used vinegar and baking soda to clean the wire.
There is a guide on here about it that i followed.
Worked good, and even with the crimper and lugs, it was well under 200 bucks. That was about 2 years ago now.
