What you're looking at for your truck is 2 ground cables, a LH and a RH and the positive, which is one piece, connecting both batts to the starter. The listing you gave is for the ground cables, 2 different grades.

Check NAPA, they should be about $100.00 for everything.

got mine from napa was about $120 only took about 30 mins to do the positive cable get some di eltric grease for your terminals well worth the money

 

Make them out of 2/0 welding cable.It is 600 volt and costs about $2.00 a foot. Then crimp them yourself with new ends. It was under $20 for my positive cable.

 

the napa ones are really really nice. i would argue much nicer then the dealers
i think it's also a 3 gauge wire, and not a 4.

 

you guys suggest putting dialectic grease down on the solenoid? where else?

 

old wires:



new wires from Napa:

 

I put the grease anywhere there is a connetion terminals solenoid starter

 

looks like the old cables off of my truck the pos cable of the pass side rotted in 2

 

are the napa wires dirent replacements or do they make them there or something?

 

Napa is an Auto Part's store- i would say the best quality auto store in my area (besides the dealer). and yes it's a direct replacement.

 

NAPA makes the wires to fit your truck.
The correct wire size is 2/0 between the two batteries
And 3/0 from the passenger side battery to the starter.

You should also have a #4 wire added to the passenger side terminal to replace the wire that goes back to the inner fender starter solenoid or inner fender well glow plug relay depending on the year of your truck. That is the main electrical connection point for everything but the starter.

The one I am refering to is the smaller red wire above the battery in Ditto's top picture.

I would also add a #6 wire to each negative terminal and ground it to the body on both batteries.
