Help....what size is positive starter to battery cable

[campbell2j]

Hello all

My 1998 12v battery cable clamps were in terrible shape, so I decided to replace them with the military style battery clamps from Larryb"s. I am stuck right now because I can't figure out the size of the HUGH positive battery-to-starter cable so that I can get the correct size crimp on lug for it. I have both 1 AWG and 2 AWG lugs, and both are way too small for this cable. Does anyone know what size this cable is, or what size lug I need to get for it?

Many thanks for any/all help

1/0 best as I can recall, I changed mine to 2/0 years ago and can’t remember what the stock size was for sure..

Looks like 2/0 on my 96, but I replaced them with a set from custom battery cables . Com,,,, come to find out later Geno's carries those and are really great quality, check out the flyer you got with TDR 101 or their site for them if you still cant figure it out.

My FSM says 00ERD (2/0) for the wire size to the starter and 0ERD (1/0) to the right battery positive.

Little scotchbrite and bailing wire will be good as new!

99 diagram shows 1/0. In laymans terms 1 ott.

FYI--spelled correctly it is "One Aught" ... "Aught" being the old English word for the digit "zero".
