This is a complete replacement cable kit for the Ford F250 and F350 Super Duty trucks and Excursions with the 7.3L PowerStroke Diesel Engine(complete list below).

Stock Cable size is 1/0 AWG with a 2 AWG crossover cable if you can believe that!  Our Kit is all 2/0 AWG – 26% more copper than 1/0 AWG and double that of 2 AWG!  The kit includes an add-on 8 AWG battery to body ground cable added to driver’s side ground cable assy.  The increased cable size and improved grounding offers greatly improved cranking power and performance over stock cables, especially worn out ones.

Battery terminals include accessory studs where required to ensure a perfect factory fitment!  Kits for 99-03 trucks with Dual Alternators have a slightly longer ground cable assy for the passenger side battery!

Full specifications listed below.

    If you’re suspecting your battery cables are a problem and you’re thinking about replacing them, stop thinking about it and just buy these cables. These are honestly the best cables you can buy for your 7.3. They’re made with the highest quality materials, and unless you’re a professional at making electric cabling, I doubt you could make them better yourself. Very nice convoluted tubing and hardware, all neatly fastened with adhesive lined heat shrink, these cables feel and look very nice. But they not only look nice, they work very well too.

    After suspecting my cables and starter were a problem, I decided to start with cables since they were really bad for wear-and what a difference they made. With my original 1997 starter and cables, my engine was cranking around 90-95 RPM, and was getting to the point of barely starting. After installing these cables alone, my cranking RPM jumped up to 150-160, and it starts absolutely no problem now. There was an immediate audible difference when I started it the first time, it spun over much faster.

    These cables do require some modification, such as transferring over the stamped steel bracket for the starter power feed cable, the starter solenoid trigger wire, and all the harness retention clips. But this doesn’t take long and is simple to do.

    I had only one small problem: one of the eyelets ended up cracking because it was bent during shipping. Tony had no problem sending out a new supplemental ground cable to replace the broken one, no questions asked. Ce auto electric supply stands behind their stuff, very good customer service.

    IMHO these cables are the best you can buy, and are 100% worth it. If I ever need new battery cables for any vehicle where factory cables aren’t an option, I know I will definitely be coming back here.

      Leland – Sorry your package got smashed up so bad in transit. Glad to hear that the cables made such a profound difference!

    This is a very very nice kit. It fit perfectly and, even for a weekend hobbyist like myself, the kit went on quickly and easily. The instructions were clear and the quality of the materials used in the kit are second to none. I could not be any happier with the product or the results! Thanks much CE Auto Electric Supply!

    I recently purchased this awesome kit for my 2000 F350 with 7.3. Prior to installing this kit I noticed electrical issues. I’m the original owner and started having intermittent voltage issues, including a random dash light. My window motors slowed over time. My headlights were slightly dimmer than years before. The horn wasn’t as loud over time. I had acclimated to a poor battery cable and ground condition. This kit is fairly easy to install and takes 3-4 hours with common tools. The supplied install instructions are easy to follow with color illustrations. Ford should have designed a battery/ground kit like this originally. After the install, I noticed faster window motors, louder horn, happier door lock actuators, brighter headlights, faster turn signals and faster engine starts. I’m sure the ECM is happier too as everything works noticeably better. I also teamed this kit up with the CE charging kit for the alternator and I strongly recommend this kit too. During the install, I sourced a Mechman Alternator from CE too. If you have a 7.3 you really need this CE battery kit the CE charging kit and Mechman Alternator (CE supplied). You’ll notice the difference immediately along with the reliability. Very pleased with the quality and worth every cent.

    Purchase this battery cable kit for my 2001 Ford F250 super duty back in June 2021. The install was easier than I thought it would be (since there was some mods that had to be made) the instructions made it easy and the kit came with all the necessary parts to complete the mods. You don’t see that very often. Now that I have run this update for 8 months I am blown away the amount of amps that are going to the starter. I have never heard a starter spin up that fast. My truck has 300k miles on it and in the past would have a hard time turning over during the winter. Granted, I am in the south (TN) so, I don’t have sub-freezing weather as the north does but it does get down to freezing. For you diesel owners with older batteries know, if you did not plug your truck in that night it is going take several try’s to start your diesel. Specially, if you have high miles. Believe it or not that was not the case this winter for me. I purposely did not plug in the truck on several cold nights (in the low 30’s and 20’s) then did the normal three glow plug warmup procedure before turning the engine over. (Note: In the past I would have to repeat this warmup procedure several times for the truck would start or I would have to jump the batteries.) The truck fired right up only once did it not fire up on the first try and that was due to operator error (not allowing the all cylinders to fully catch before killing power to the starter.)
    If you are on the fence due to the cost of this upgrade, do it, you will not regret it. It will be a completely different truck. With all the mods I have done on my diesel this mod is in the top two if not number one in return on my investment.

    The factory cables on my 2001 F250 Superduty were worn completely out causing poor connections and weak starts. I surfed the web searching for a good heavy duty replacement set of cables and found CE Auto Electric Supply. I purchased their cables, they arrived at my house in a few days and knew when I opened the box that I had made a good purchase. After installing them on my truck “which was easy with the instructions included” My truck is now starting stronger than it ever has. I would recommend these cables and CE Auto Electric Supply to anyone looking for a better set of cables.

    Worked perfectly! I changed this out on my truck and it’s back to running strong! Before it wouldn’t even make a sound, or have enough juice to turn my light on!

    I was impressed with the product as soon as I opened the box. All the components reek of quality. They were happy to accommodate minor changes to the kit in order for it to fit perfectly in a 20-year-old truck that has seen many modifications. I was so impressed I also placed an order for a charging system cable upgrade. They do not have a premade kit for the charging cable upgrade so I had to provide a few measurements but that was easily accomplished. After installing the upgraded cables, my starter now spins the engine like a whirling dervish on meth. Truly an excellent product.

    Other than bending a few terminals to make it strain free perfect, it all dropped right in. Even the custom add ons I measured for, which is a shock. Looks fantastic and works great. Combine these cables with a genuine Denso starter and you’ll get the strongest, fastest cranks ever. Huge huge difference in performance and they look fantastic. Customer service is superb also, I had questions they had answers.

    The OEM cable assemblies for the 1999-2003 7.3L trucks are discontinued and I say good riddance. The OEM set leaves a lot to be desired. CE Auto Electric Supply has given us a big upgrade with this kit in cable size/quality, terminal quality, and the fight against corrosion. They have really outdone themselves here. The quality of everything included is better than OEM and any aftermarket assembly I have used on these trucks. From the huge and very flexible 100% OFC cables, heavy duty terminals, all the way down to the included hardware every piece is high quality. Well done CE Auto Electric Supply!
