Battery cable kits??

I want to replace all my battery cables and was wondering if there is a kit for these trucks, or just buy the cables and connector/clamps etc...
Thanks.

You could try Mcmaster carr they have the battery cable , crip ends or bolt together style .
I did the bolt together last year and it's perfect ... slide the cable in and tighten and your done ...use some red tape if you want to mark the cable !

This guy has a kit for Dodge trucks. I've heard his stuff is good quality, and he's cheaper than the dealer.

Just take all the old ones off and go up to NAPA. You can buy the cable and ends there and they'll crimp them all on for free. I had my starter cable made there for real cheap, I think it was less than $10 if I remember right.
