ground cables
was looking under the hood and the ground that goes from the NEG battery terminal to the frame was fried (probably why the truck won't start).
question is....what is the easiest and proper way to replace it. it has a connector in the middle of it.
this might be cryptic but i am new at trying to fix things under the hood

On my 82' I just bought 2 battery cables from the parts store. 1 cable went from the battery to the frame, and the other went from the same spot on the frame to the starter. I used some grease on the frame where they come together and I didn't screw the "connector" back down.
I also replace the positive cable coming from the battery since it also was in pretty bad shape.
I say the total cost was around $15.
