Does anybody know where I can get an original set of battery cables? Auto part stores only sell crappy ones that never work as good as original. Oh and its for an 88 s10 blazer.

You may be able to get some from LMC Truck... I'd actually recommend NAPA though. They will (at least the one in my town does) make you a battery cable - you pick the ends and size wire and they make it to size.

^ and if you go this route... give yourself an extra inch or two of slack, compared with stock length cable... Its already a PITA dealing with what I got...

Personally,I prefer welding lead and buy some terminals,then you can do whatever you want with them!

I just had the 1/0, Replaced both stock wires, done my big 3 in it, run a postive post under the rear seat of my blazer that the amp/power converter/compressor all use, and ran wires for the winch I've yet to get.
