Anyone know a good source for new battery cables for a van with a 6.2L? Rockauto only seems to have the battery to terminal cables, but neither of the battery-to-battery cables.

Make your own cables.Then you will know you have good ones.
Get some welding cable and ends,solder it up and you are good to go.
Or go to a local battery supply, such as Battery Outfitters, and have new cables made. I had them make me some custom cables for my old 6.2L several years ago. I had them make a positive cable that was one piece from the driver's battery post, to the passenger's battery post, down to the starter; it was really slick, made of larger gauge wire than factory, and allowed more current to flow for faster starts.

Never even considered that, I’ll look in to it, thank you.Quote:

Yesterday i tried 3 motorcycle shops looking for a Air filter with a 2" rubber opening,like what dirt-bikers use when they mod their bikes... nope had to order through NAPA
So things are limited way up here,and local(Whitehorse) service sucks.Everyone is willing to order what you need,which i can usually do and have it delivered to my post office instead of having a 200 mile round trip journey to get it.
I sent you a PM with a shop that will make them and ship to you..
Now all I gotta do is send them my old cables for them to copy, nice.Quote:
