I have a 2011 Ford F-150 Super Crew Cab with a 5.0 engine. I'm curious as to what others have come up with to replace the Factory Positive Battery Cable other than purchasing the whole Harness that Ford Dealers want to push. Now for those who might be reading this and have never seen the Positive Battery Clamp on a 2011 F-150, please do not suggest one of the Old School Clamps that can be bought for a couple of dollars at any parts house. For those who have already had to deal with this issue, and came up with a solution, details likes part numbers, pics, special tools etc... would be appreciated! Right now I am thinking that I am going to try and adapt a Military Style Clamp, though I am not sure I can and I am open to other options. Another question regarding the same problem, could the Factory fusible link be replaced with an aftermarket one? Does anyone have the specs on that factory fusible link? This is the actual Clamp that is on the Positive Terminal of my Battery...

Reason: spelling
From my research, this is the Ford OEM positive is battery terminal based on your model https://www.fordpartsprime.com/oem/f...l3z14300e.html . You can enter your VIN on the page to verify fitment. Do some research just to make sure this is what you need.
I don't like that factory clamp and want to do something different. Hoping someone else has already been down this road and can point me in the right direction.
This is how battery place fixed my 2013 f150 screw platinum. Took it to ford said the corroded part is not covered and they fix it the same way. New part with cable $800
This is the EXACT same reason my '13 F-150 is at the shop right now - the positive terminal on mine had corroded so bad (my fault I know) that it was basically split all apart - and with the "FORD ONLY" positive terminal required....as Pink Floyd once said "all in all its just another brick in the wall" (and this is to the tune of $1,100)
