hello,
I have a 2001 f250 with a 7.3L. I need to replace the left side negative battery cable. The cable is long with two smaller cables in each end (one that’s on the battery and another that’s on the motor). The ford dealership wants $60 bucks for a new one. I feel that they’re asking too much.
My question: I found a cable at O’Reilly’s auto parts that seems to be the right size. The only problem was that it didn’t have the smaller negative cables on each end of the main cable. Instead, it had two smaller cables, which were connected to the main top battery post. It’s the same current, so I figure that if I connect everything right it should work fine. Or I’m I just plain out wrong?
thanks,
