Time to replace all of my battery cables. So my question is where is the best place to buy new battery cables? If I can find someone around here that makes cables what is a good size of cable to replace mine with? I dont like replacement ends so I want all new cables. Thank you in advance.

thank you guys very much I should see this cat tomorrow so I will pass this along!

Not necessarily the hard way just the uneducated way! and I was curious about the second (older battery) being comprised now. what would be the best way to test/check the life of this battery??

Your could very well be the pump seal but it coudl also be the bushing in the pump along with the seal. I think as long as you keep a close eye on the fluid level you should be alright. just my good luck with it:pray:

Welcome that is a good friend this is a great website for these trucks!!

that thing looks great JL.

well i can say from personal experience that both NEED TO BE REPLACED TOGETHER!!!

Man that looks great! Thank you for the pics and the links to all this neat stuff!!!

ok thank you dorkweed. what if he does not have a rail pressure gauge? would I be able to tell just by the way its running?

well i replaced the first battery back in september along with the altenator and the other battery tested fine but it failed yesterday! so from now on i will replace both at once. and thank you for the advice.

Awesome thread John!:thumb1:

Well I learned a valuable lesson between yesterday and today! when you need a battery replace them both becasue the other will be shortly behind!:banghead: With another cold snap and snow my truck leaves me at work catching a ride with a friend of mine. You must remember this is my first diesel so this winter has been trying for me and this truck!:banghead::banghead: sorry for the rant just been a trying week.

Excuse this question it might be dumb but what is a FCA?

Boy I know that feeling I have used some choice words on my truck over the last week or so.

well with an air hammer itll come right off!:lmao:

ok will do thank you Mopar and Dorkweed.

i would use ultra black rtv it is great to use around oil:thumb1:

so i should have him make sure the connection is dry and fully connected?

ok thank you sir at least i now have something to go off of.

Ok guys there is a guy at work with a 2006 5.9 CR and his truck threw a code P0260 and he says when this happens the truck has no power. He tells me sometimes after he shuts the truck down for a little while and then fires it back up it then all is good? Any help is much appreciated.

yes i think that would be a good idea!

we have an Oriellys too but my sister no longer works there so onto the next discount!!!:lmao:

ok thank you. but my question is still unanswered. where do you find #1 diesel and what exactly is it? Is it dyed diesel or farm diesel around here (southeast kansas)?

oh yes definitely and maybe some new gaskets and seals since its out!!!

Thank you sir! and congrats on the 800k!!!
