Stock Cable Sets vs Time
Corrosion and oxidation are major factors in why the cable sets in these trucks are due for replacement. One of the biggest factors is what happens between the negative cables to the engine block and the terminations themselves. We’ve got excellent photos of this from a Gen 1 Dodge Diesel Truck if you’d like to view them.

Ordered the Gen 2 cable kit in the 2/0 AWG size and had them on my doorstep the next day in Prescott. What a great looking set of cables these are
and what a good time I had installing them on my 2001 2500 4WD Cummins. They fit perfect and everything was there to complete the install. I am the original owner of this truck and have made many modifications to it over the years to enhance the performance and drivability.
Thank You to CE Auto Electric Supply for such a nice product.

Incredibly fast shipping, super quality product. Waited a while to spend the money on battery cables but I shouldn’t have waited. Worth every penny.
Ben bernhard (verified owner) –
Got the 2/0 2nd gen battery cables on my truck recently and had zero issue with fitment and install was very quick. Would highly recommend. The 2/0 was flexible enough to follow the lines of the old cables too.
Daniel B. (verified owner) –
Amazing quality – well worth the cost versus trying to build your own kit. Time is money! No more torque converter cycling! My 1999 2500 Ram Diesel starts faster, charges better and even feels a bit faster. Highly recommend this kit!

I just got these for my 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Laramie SLT 4×4 turbo diesel.
Got the 3/0 AWG cables with military style connectors to replace the skinny factory cables to both batteries.
This is an awesome product! These cables are monsters and they are super clean! The installation looks great and feels good to know I’ve got extremely over-engineered cabling in there… these will outlast the truck itself.
If you need replacement cables, don’t hesitate ordering these and I would recommend going oversize, future-proof the installation.

1999 dodge ram 2500 Just installed 2/0 AWG cables. Where do I start. Shipping was faster than prime. Craftsmanship is 5 star so much better than stock cables. Customer service outstanding. If you need new cables do not hesitate.

Got 99 dodge 2500 2nd gen 24 valve kit; very clean setup comes with everything you need couldn’t be happier after getting kit installed, tony definitely does quality work highly recommended any of his products or work.
David Franko (verified owner) –
I put the gen 2 battery kit on my 1997 Dodge Cummins. Everything fit well, I only had trouble with the negative cables, the one that said it was for the driver side was too short, so I took the one off the passenger side that I installed and it was longer, so no biggie , switched them and it fit prefect. One thing I would suggest is the cable clamps are really tight, they were size 14, I had some size 16 clamps and they fit a lot better . You do have to pull the wire out of the positive large wire loom to the starter and use the included 1/8 wire loom and put the small wire you pulled out of the old loom and route next to the new positive cable loom. I would 100% recommend, this battery kit for the Gen 2 Dodge Cummins.
Thanks Dave

Dave – thank you for the excellent feedback. The clamps in the 2/0 AWG kits should be #16, not #14. We will check to be sure that our inventory reflects this.
Devin Schandorff (verified owner) –
I was skeptical on buying this kit because I thought it was a lot of money to spend on battery cables. But I had heard only great reviews from the people that had this kit so I pulled the trigger. It shipped fast, was well packaged and when I opened the box I was even more impressed. Not only was the material top quality the craftsmanship was also next level. It looked so clean, in just looks alone it was a huge upgrade from factory. I installed the kit, which came with everything I needed, and it was so easy to install. Once it was installed, the truck fired up and I could instantly hear a difference in just how the truck idled. After driving the truck I noticed that it shifted so much smoother and accelerated faster. This is WELL worth the money. If you’re on the fence, don’t think about it anymore, just get it.

I agree with all the comments made previously and they did fix all the problems and truck runs better starts quicker just finished stop that jumping in and out of gear it really was a good purchase good quality I didn’t put him in a man 75 years old but had a mechanic do it for and do it in a let’s just like Factory

Dakota (verified owner) –
These cables are a must up grade for any second gen owner specially with a 24v Cummins. They solved my issue with my torque converter going in and out of lock up and also made a noticeable difference in the brightness in my lights. They are easy to install and super high quality. Highly recommend them.
Jared Rectenbaugh –
Great cables! It came with everything you need for the complete install as well! Highly recommend this to anyone who wants to upgrade their cables.
Michael Vosseler (verified owner) –
Extremely satisfied with the quality of the product and equally satisfied with the customer service I received when I had questions. The ordering process and shipping was painless as well. If only all of my transactions went so well. Thank you again for your apparent attention to detail and customer satisfaction!
Riley Klingaman –
These cables fit perfect, I was having a known dodge issue of a hunting torque converter due to a voltage drop/interference. Some people will tell you to add in an interrupter but that is only a bandaid fix. These cables fixed my issue and have made my truck start and run better. 20 year old cables just don’t cut it anymore. The wire these are made out of isn’t like anything I have ever seen, it is HUGE 2/0 AWG but you can whip it around like rope it can bend anyway you would need it to.
