Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

.
Repaired broken negative battery terminal.

After finding all local parts stores had only 4ga replacement cables and most were too short... I needed 32" 2ga, I found a suitable replacement terminal
at the Orielleys parts house along with a 2ga brass lug and a 2ga solder pellet.

Cut the broken terminal off the end of my 2ga cable, used vicegrip plires to hold the lug while the pellet boiled and put my existing 2ga ground wire in. With continued heat, some of the solder wicked into the strands. Covered it all up with a piece of heat shrink wrap and done...
