Bad negative battery cable

[Lordsman]

I have a worn and nearly broken negative battery cable connector on passenger side of a 2003 Ram Cummins Turbo diesel.
Any idea where I can find a good new connector?
Was hoping to find the entire OEM cable but seems they are obsolete so have to go with a connector I suppose.
Thanks for any help. Mike

One option...

I use wire and cable your way.

They can crimp the ends might need to email them or search a bit but they built some for me with a single hole lug on the end and you can add the heat shrink at home.

Then use a Military style battery connector.
Amazon has a bunch of nice options you can see for those.

I second the military style connector, best battery connection ever.

I wound up giving mine away in the pay it forward section a few years ago as the cable holes were pretty tiny, the military were much nicer.

That's good to know,not that I was thinking of switching. I agree on the military style.

If you have a good local battery store they may make cables in house , we have one in my town that is much cheaper then online and great quality.

Ok I’ll bite, anybody got a link to the Military style stuff?

I got mine from Fastronix as he also sells the matching boots - hard to find them.
