Installed new battery cables from custom cables
I thought it was time to change out my battery cables, as they were almost 20 years old, i've had the truck since '96.
I went the custom battery cable route... and they worked out well. I had to,on drivers side to make a wiring mod as the old ground cable to the battery had two small wires molded into the connector, then the other end went to two sorts of quick-disconnect plugs(no idea,disappeared into wiring harness)
The passenger side battery, the ground to the engine also had a #8 or so wire to the frame, couldn't loosen the bolt(hard to get at) so drilled another hole and attached the ground to it.
Had the same sort of condition with a small wire molded onto the ground terminal, went to gnd. on starter solenoid. Put a #10 in it's place.
All in all, not a bad job......it evened started up!!
Thanks to all who posted about custom battery cables, worked for me!
