2/0 for the + to the starter, the rest are 1/0. But I would just use 2/0 for all.

Yes, 4 is too small. I'm running 4 to the back of my truck to run the electric pump on my dump trailer and for that use its adequate.

Well I've never measured my battery cables, so I guess that's settled.

Jeez y'all are touchy!

Just trying to save someone some problems/expense. No offence meant at all.


Correction - one cable is 4 guage - goes between drivers side battery and the PDC
