[QUOTE="NotMatt, post: 1271840, member: 15947"] Just as an update... yesterday I looked at the battery cables some more and noticed that the cable running from the driver's side battery positive to the passenger side battery positive was extremely corroded and bulging under the insulation right where it meets the terminal... I cut the insulation back and found it was corroded and nasty a few inches back into the cable. The whole positive cable is one piece with the terminals and all from the driver's side battery to the passenger side and then down to the starter and main relay box. I should have a new one from Ford today to the tune of $120. I hate to admit to spending that much on a battery cable, but it's all one piece and the cables can't be replaced separately, and I didn't feel comfortable just buying a "wing nut" terminal and making some sketchy new connections on a rig I want to be reliable and dependable. We'll see if it fixes the problem. I would imagine the alt trying to charge through a crappy corroded connection might cause issues... Hmm... interesting. [/QUOTE]
