get a new Lug to Lug to Lug Battery Cable an go from Bat - to Engine Block and Fender (Chassis)

I agree. This is a good idea for any vehicle on which you are replacing cables, regardless of how it was configured from the factory. Many older vehicles have either "BAT to Engine Block" or "BAT to Chassis". "BAT to Block and to Chassis" is best.

Cowman, the cable will have a battery connection at one end, and also TWO mounting lugs. one will be partway along the cable and one will be at the other end from the battery connection.

If your truck is not already configured for such a cable you'll need to do some measurements so you can buy a "generic" cable with sufficient length(s) to be able to run it from the Battery to the engine block (intermediate lug) and then from the block over to the chassis (the end lug).

And be sure to clean any paint off the connection location down to bare metal. Put a dab of Dielectric grease on the location. It's at the Checkout at AZ in little packets (like Ketchup sized)

WayneS- don't You just laugh at those Factory Engine to Chassis 18GA "cables" with the giant lugs on them ? What a waste of good Lugs.
