These kits fit 2003- 2009 Gen 3 Dodge Trucks with the various 5.9L or 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel Engines.  These trucks originally came with dual batteries.  We offer kits specific to the 2003-2005 trucks as well as kits specific to the 2006-2009 trucks.

Stock Cable size is 1/0 AWG.  Our 1/0 AWG Kits offer improved cranking power and performance over stock cables, especially worn out ones (see below for more on that).  Our 2/0 AWG Kits and now 3/0 AWG kits offer even greater cranking power and performance – perfect for modified trucks!  We offer them all.  Parts list and specifications listed below.

Some 2007-2009 trucks require a 90-degree eyelet on the starter cable – view the last photo and compare to your truck before ordering!  All 2003-2005 trucks use straight eyelets.

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.

    2006 Dodge RAM 2500. This kit was an exact replacement for all battery connections, with super high-quality wire and connectors.
    Go ahead and order the replacement starter solenoid wire also I’m glad I did.
    The positive lead to starter and the solenoid wire are really hard to access at the starter. I removed the starter and cleaned everything up.

    Installed 3 months ago now… this fixed my check engine light for intermittent power to ecm…and fixed slow cranking issue. So very happy i fixed both problems with these cables . My old cables were stock with green oxidation and bare wiring showing. The quality of the kit is very nice. The wiring was top notch and heavy duty,flexible (due to high copper strand count) amd very well sealed terminal ends to prevent corrosion happening again. This is for sure a buy once , cry once kit. Very impressed. Like a couple other reviews , my alternator boot didnt fit so had to reuse old one.. amd the splitting loom for trigger solonoid lead amd starter cable was a pain which is ok but havimg to reloom the single starter lead was a bit much amd not sure if necassary. Overall very happy with super fast cranking and how the fresh terminals and cables make the engine bay look clean. Good insurance knowing you have clean power to all electical systems now. Thank you guys for great easy install kit.

    My truck is a 2004 Ram 2500. I was experiencing overcharging of passenger side battery and no charging on driver side as well as “check gages” dash light. I contacted Tony at 11:30 AM, he had the cable kit ready by 1:30Pm that day, since I am local to Arizona, we met for pick up. It solved all my issues, and the truck runs like new, no more electrical problems and my truck was running that same evening. Tony knows what he is doing, these cables seem far superior to the OEM ones. Well worth the $$.

    Purchased for my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 because I was sick and tired of trying to mess with the ends of my factory cables, plus the fusible links needed to be replaced and those were included in this upgrade kit. The 2/0 wire is very heavy duty over stock, and the flexibility is unmatched versus the stock cables.

    The only downside I would say is no terminal covers included like other kits on the market for a similar price.

    Didn’t change the star rating though, because this is a very nice kit.

    installed this kit with the 2/0AWG on my 2008 Gen3 Cummins and it now starts like brand new. i cannot believe how much more torque the starter produces now. probably one of the best upgrades for the money. high quality cables. Pro Tip: use an 18mm 3/8ths stubby socket, swivel and extension with an impact gun to loosen the Starter’s negative terminal if yours is mounted to the frame.

    Great kit! Super comprehensive and easy to install. Everything needed is included. Great company to work with. My battery was popping the top off and spraying acid everywhere due to a poor connection between the two batteries. It was causing all sorts of issues because of this. Installed this kit and all my problems went away! Kit looks great, the cabling is super pliable and easy to work with. All bolts and other fasteners are included and upgraded with the kit. Awesome!

    Excellent product. Fast shipping. I am running these kits on two of my trucks currently and I constantly brag on them on facebook diesel pages. Fixed shifting issue in my 01 47Re and my 2006 no longer has connection and corrosion issues.

    Bought the standard 1/0 kit for my 04 Ram 3500. The factory cables/terminals were next to gone and in poor shape. This kit is incredible. This is the most complete kit I have come across. Plus the instructions are complete and clear and leave nothing to guess. I will definitely be returning for my future automotive wiring needs.

    We bought a 2/0 kit for a 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab with the 5.9 Cummins. These cables are NICE! They’re as big around as nickel but SO flexible! You could EASILY tie them in a knot. It made routing them very easy. The kit came with everything we needed and completely took care of a “slow-crank” issue she’d been having. The only word of warning I have is regarding the military terminals. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE T. They’re not malleable like a lead terminal. They will crack if you try to tighten them too much. Make sure your terminal is seated as far down as it will go before tightening. Overall, this is a great kit.

    • Tony Candela (verified owner)

      Zach – spot on. Many battery manufacturers have reduced the height of the posts to save on lead. So, seating the terminal fully before tightening them is important. And like you say, we outline this fully in the supplied documentation.

      June, 2022 – ALL kits now include our newly designed battery terminals and this problem eliminated!

    Outstanding kit and fantastic service. Top notch assembly with everything needed to upgrade my battery cables. All the components went in perfectly, and the starter spun noticeably faster when I fired it up for the first time. Clean installation, perfect fitment, and quality components. I’ll definitely be returning to buy custom cables for my next pet project!

    Got these for my 03 Dodge diesel that I’ve had for 15 years now. I got the bigger cables and they really do help it turn over faster in the winter. These are probably the nicest most complete battery cable kit made.

    I found that ordering from CE Auto Electric to be very easy. Tony called me personally to help me get everything I needed for my 2008 Dodge Ram diesel pick up. The kit that was sent was well thought out and very complete to the smallest component. Don’t go out and buy anything you think you may need before you go through kit. I upgraded to the 2.0 cable, well worth it. It wasn’t a real easy installation but very doable. Be careful not over tighten the battery cable clamps. After all was installed all worked properly without any problems. CE offers a great product at a fair price and excellent service.

    Bought to replace my 2007 cables that were in terrible shape and not grounding properly. The kit is very well made, easy to install and has surpassed my expectations. Price is reasonable also for all that comes with the kit. Highly recommend for anyone with Dodge battery cable issues.

    I have a 2003 dodge diesel that I replaced the computer module. I got the new cables, installed them and the truck starts and runs smooth. I like the military connectors and I checked other places for cables and this was the best value. The connection between the battery and the starter was difficult because of limited movement and tight connections.

    Great cables, got the 2/0. Getting the + off the starter was the hardest, but cables are fantastic! 06 Ram 3500 5.9L
