Custom Battery Cables Replacement Cold Weather Battery Cable Set 88-97 Ford 7.3L IDI / Powerstroke
Description
Replace your worn or corroded factory cables in your 1988-1997 Ford 7.3L IDI/Powerstroke with this complete cold weather/hard start set from Custom Battery Cables. This cold weather kit is for trucks used in extreme weather (i.e. snow plows). They may be a little more difficult to install than the standard 2/0 kit. These cables are built from 3/0 (“two-aught”) cable for the starter and 2/0 engine block grounds and tin plated copper terminals. To prevent corrosion from the battery’s acidic fumes, we crimp the terminals with a 12-ton hydraulic crimper then seal the connection with adhesive lined heat shrink. Cables are shipped with anti-corrosion battery washers, military-style battery terminals with “Nylox” style lock nuts.
This is a complete kit incuding the 3/0 positive battery cable to starter, 2/0 right positive battery cable to battery, right and left negative battery cables, #10 ga. relay to start solenoid wire, 2 positive and negative military style battery terminals with lock nuts and covers, and includes loom.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some customers have reported that the 3/0 terminal at the starter needs some minor modification (grinding or cutting with dremel) to properly clear plastic tower on start solenoid. Also, depending on the starter on your truck, you may have a 90 degree lug or a straight lug style. The stock OE starters have a 90 degree bend, whereas a Denso style "High-Torque" aftermarket starter would require a straight lug at the starter.

Battery kit 95 F250 Diesel
"New cables perfect custom fit. No issues at all. 1 degree outside, didn’t plug in and, my 95 Ford F250 Diesel started easily!"
Great Product, Great Customer Service
"Bought these to replace the factory originals on my 1989 F250 IDI. The quality on these is top notch, so I'm betting these cables will last even longer! The 52" 3/0 battery to starter cable didn't bend as easily as the 52" factory cable so it couldn't quite make the run. I contacted the manufacturer, who sent me out a longer 3/0 cable, no charge, and included a prepaid shipping label for me to return the short cable. Excellent service! The smaller diameter ground wires are all beefier than the originals and the rubber terminal covers work great. Very pleased with this product."
