Also, you make your own by getting cable from a welding supply business and solder some 2/0 battery terminals on to them. That's what I did, made 3 new battery cables for about $60.

Yep, I'll second custombattercables.com
The best you'll find for these trucks. I've got them and couldn't be more impressed or more happy. I even picked up about 2-300 cold cranking RPM's My truck has new batt's custombatterycables.coms, and a rebuilt Hitachi starter. It spins sooo damn fast, it's crazy.
I started it @ -15 with no block heater, one cycle of the gp's and about 2 seconds on the starter!

NAPA can also make cables at most locations.
2/0 cable from the passenger side battery to the drivers side battery.
3/0 cable from the drivers side battery to the starter.
I had NAPA make me two cables, one from each battery to the starter.
I still used the stock wire size for the cables though.
