battery cables

I'm sure this is simple question but I would like to make some new cables for our 24V BJ45. What is the best gauge cable (2 or maybe 4 AWG?) and anyone have recommendations for terminals?

I installed a new starter and connected it according to the online reference that I found, CENTER TO POWER and S SIDE (the little bolt on the right hand side) TO THE SMALL WIRE, LEAVING THE OTHER CONNECTOR EMPTY (the little bolt on the left hand side) *see picture. I started the truck (1993...

Hi Everyone, I will be announcing my new website relatively soon over in the Small Business Storefront, but I wanted some input on a package I am putting together. I am a huge fan of BlueSea Systems and have been running their 7610 ACR, fuses, fuse blocks and circuit breakers for some time in...

I'm redoing my battery cables. Partly to address this cracked terminal but also just because I want to clean things up and do new boots, etc. What is the point of the ground (pictured below) going both to the engine and to the fender? Can I get rid of the fender ground? I'm also looking for...

Hi. Just got this 96 last week. So this happened today when I started the truck. Last weekend I had the battery disconnected to take the interior apart to clean. I did not notice anything odd. I even cleaned the terminal and post putting it back on. I drove it this week running errands with no...

Smart guy here didn't take a picture before teardown and I just about have my rig back together, but there's one problem. I have one more large terminal to attach to the battery. I dont recall if it was a pos or neg connection. Here's the wire in question. I believe it's a positive connection...

Ok here's the deal. I'm not going to break this s*** doing this so I'm going to ask so I dont. It feels like a dumb question, but I'll be damned if I break anything trying to jump my friends car. I have a dual battery setup. If I want to jump my friends car, does it matter which battery I...

I have been accumulating boxes and boxes of parts I have accumulated the last year and a half from Dan and Onur that I am finally getting around to installing, along with doing some other cleaning up and refreshening to the old Mountain Goat. The game plan: New fuel filter, new fuel sock, new...
