I just finished installing my new battery cables that arrived last Friday. Had planned to install them last Saturday but the holes on the solid copper lugs were a bit too small for the bolts I wanted them to fit on, so I had to find time to put them in the vise and drill them out to fit. Went with 1/0 size and boy, did they make a difference!?!?! The truck hadn't been started in 5 days but when I hit the stomp pedal the starter motor spun the engine over faster than it has ever been and it lit up immediately!! It's never done that in the 9 years I've owned it. Thanks to Jerry "Hotrod Lincoln" and all the other 'bolters who gave me advice in the electrical forum. I highly recommend the upgrade to large diameter cables if you're still running an original 6 volt system!
