Looking for Battery Cables
Does anyone know where I can get battery cables (both + / -) for a 1997 Expedition 5.4L 4x4.
Ford dealers are absolutely out of there fricken minds! They are asking $60 for the Positive cable and get this $275 for the Negative! After calling one dealer I thought I would call others just in case I was being misinformed. Well, I wasn't. Those are the prices.
Right now I was forced to go to Crappy Tire and by those clamps that fasten the cable to the clamp with those strips of metal and 2 bolts. Not only do they look dumb but will corrode the wire alot quicker.
Let me know if anyone knows of companies that will make me up cables with fused on clamps. I will go from Scarberia to Hamilton to get them if the price is right.

I would even try Carquest, that's usually our parts supplier for alot of stuff. I know what you mean on prices, believe it or not, sometimes the dealer is cheaper by half, but shop around, they may be the only ones who have a decent set too.
