FJ60/FJ62 Heavy Duty Battery Cable Sets (1 Viewer)

[CruiserTrash]

Reporting back as promised. Voltage runs about 1V higher on both the dash gauge and an aftermarket voltmeter. Starts have a little more audible “oomph”.

Here are some additional items I used:

1. New boot for the positive cable at the starter. The old boot wouldn’t fit over the new thicker gauge cable. I could have made a slit and zip tied it, but wanted something new and re. It did require a slight trim to fit over the attachment nut. Fastronix part number 404-110

2. Covers for the mil-spec battery terminals. It’s kind of a tight squeeze fitting all the cables through the inlet passage, but some tugging and wiggling did the job. Alternatively I could have cut a slit and zip-tied. Fastronix part number 404-101

Both items could probably be had from a different manufacturer through Amazon, but I’m not really an Amazon guy. I picked these up at a local hot rod shop - I bet “tuner” shops might have them too, or could at least order something similar.

Installed on the F62 rig and will repeat what others have said. Super solid construction. Will also say almost all the speedo bounce is now gone.

Glad they are working out!

@Fourrunner

I feel like we PMd about this, but what’s the story on alternator cables? Too difficult to bypass since they go into a wiring harness? Limited by the quick connector on the back? I’m looking at maybe getting my alternator rewound for better current delivery at idle - but then I thought I should start with the limiting factor first, those wimpy OEM cables. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks Mark!

 

[Fourrunner]

Don't recall if we have. I've done alternator cables before. PM me and we can discuss.

Still making these kits if interested.

I finally got mine installed a few weeks ago. They are awesome! Everything fit perfect.

Hey Mark @Fourrunner -

I figured out the alternator thing we discussed a while back. The cable on the stud goes into the wiring harness, comes back out to the fusable link, and then straight to the battery + terminal.

Do you think making that cable a bigger gauge would have an effect on battery charging or alternator power distro? Your cable set improved my starting and my voltage readings a good deal, but I’d still like to milk MORE from the alternator especially at idle. Is the current flow still going to be limited by the size of the fusable link wire? Would a bigger cable to that point see any real improvement? I think both are 14awg and of course it’s probably a bad idea to change the fusable link wire size - it’s that size for a reason.

Will send you a message.

Instructions for install: Battery Cable Kit.pdf

All cables are constructed from either 1/0 or 4 AWG tinned wire (marine wire). Wire is very flexible and jacket is resistant to moisture, oil, chemicals, and excellent abrasion resistance. Joints are sealed using mil spec heavy duty adhesive lined heat shrink to prevent corrosion.

Another happy customer, great product and shipped quick!

I installed all ground cables last night, cleaned all grounding points and re-assembled with dielectric grease.

Perfect fit but I'm curious how everyone routed the ground cable from the battery to the fender? I didn't take a photo but routed from the fender to the front of the truck and looped over the top of the battery to the terminal. This is the logical way based on the battery tray support but it's pretty close to the hood when closed.

Thanks!

Howdy, @Ian Crawford. I've got a stainless steel battery tray. Mine took a little messing about with to get everything to sit in the proper place so that the hood wasn't obstructed. but I got it to work. My hood closes no problem... but I still need to fine tune my hood placement after putting it back on. I've got a little bigger gap on the p/s than the d/s/. Man, another fall project!
Take it easy.
