Re: battery cable ?

Not to sound like a broken record, but what gauge wire did you use? I personally don't like to use less than 2 gauge. Some might call that overkill, but it has also taken care of heat buildup in the wire. Not trying to reopen debate about heat soak, or what might cause hot start issues again, just trying to understand what is going into your truck.
