Hey, while doing my headgasket, I decided to check out my batt cables, and both the pos and neg cables were corroded about a foot down, no good. What's the length of pos and neg cables that I need to get?

 

Just remove your old ones and measure them...then go get the new ones.

 

Or.... I could just ask on here and someone can tell me

 

and everyone can tell you to pull them off measure them and go from there,

 

If you can't answer the questions then no need to post. Thanks and have a nice day

 

And just throwing it out there, the true k is about 15 miles away and is my only vehicle, my s10 is down so i need to get the parts, then go fix it, not tear it apart, then find parts, then go fix it

 

Typical Chevy...buy a whole roll of subwoofer wire and use that

 

I just got the s10, traded my Plymouth laser for it... Just trying to flip it, needs clutch bled, alternator and cab corners. I thought about the sub wire idea, but that's not cheap, at all. What gauge would I need? 4? I have some I believe its 8g laying around the apt but its older stuff Probly 4 years old r so

 

It aint rocket science go to the parts store and have them look it up also the + cable on your truck is only a foot long so thats a lot of corosion and the - cable only has to reach from the batt to a conveniant bolt on the engine block probably about 15 in. Dont buy the cheap 4 or 6 gauge wire get a 2 or larger

 

Yes, I do realize its not rocket science to ask them. But I figured I would ask on here to see if someone was smart enough to know, since I have to wait for my fiances car when she is off work to go and get the parts. Which is only about 2x a week. And the neg cable also bolts onto the frame before hitting the block
