Ground cable replacement
I have a 96 f250 5.8 and the ground cable is just about shot, does anyone make a replacement? its the cable that mounts to the frame and to the engine. Or does everyone just run two cables?

We had a truck where I used to work that the cables rotted out on. We replaced them with cables like what they use on semi batteries.(we were a trucking company) It Worked and it was cheap.

Two cables. Battery to block and block to frame. The block to frame ground is for trailer towing.
