Ok replaced  3 of the 4 battery cables on the truck. The 4th cable is the positive cable on the drivers side. Goes directly to the starter and TIPM. How in the world do you get to the starter to remove the cable? The cable mounts on the top side of the starter almost directly under the fuel filter housing. You can't get to it from the front side of the front axle and you can't get to it from behind the axle. Heck you can't even see the lug, you have to feel it.

 

Thanks

As long as you can reach it, you could probably get away without having to see the lug. Just bring a couple different sized wrenches with ya so you dont have to crawl back out of wherever you are. I havent looked at a starter on a 3rd gen before but the lug would be fairly easy to feel on a second gen.

 I was under the truck and on top of it wrench will not work ratchet and socket our special wrench are only options do to bracing, brackets, engine block and transmission lines. I have my doubts that a ratchet and socket will work. Unless you can come from the top, which I tried.
