Jeep - Grand Cherokee and Cherokee 16 inch alternator cable.
This 4 ga alternator cable for the 4.0L I-6 engine in Cherokee and Grand Cherokee Jeep vehicles is 16 inches long with a 5/16 lug for the alternator (older alternators were 1/4 but newer ones are 5/16) and a 5/16 straight lug for the fuse block connection with a fusible link. The fuse link is a protection device like a circuit breaker. Beware of cheap cables that do not include fuse links.
Recommended for alternators up to 160A. Works great for stock alternators and 160A Dodge Durango alternator upgrade.
Some modifications of the plastic cover at the fuse block connection may be needed depending on the model.

The fuse link is a protection device like a circuit breaker. Beware of cheap cables that do not include fuse links.

We sell two (2) different sets for XJ and ZJ Jeep vehicles.
I designed 40/30 kit for use on my personal 1997 ZJ. It should work for any XJ or ZJ where the negative cable grounds to the coil bracket. The 40/45 kit is almost the same except for older vehicles where negative connects to the engine in a different place.
A lug cover, 8 gauge 5/16 lug (for modifying the Jeep “Y” cable), a terminal for the starter solenoid, heat shrink, anti-corrosion bolts, and battery washers are included with purchase.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some minor modifications may be needed.
- These cables have a straight starter lug instead of the molded starter/solenoid/cover combo. You will need to reroute the positive cable.
- You will also need to cut the solenoid wire and add a ring terminal to it (included in kit).
- If your Jeep is equipped with the negative “Y” cable, you will need to cut the cable and install a #8 terminal on it. (Click Y-Modification for details). An 8 gauge 5/16 lug for modifying the negative “Y” cable and a piece of heat shrink is also included in the kit.
- You may need to modify the cover to the fuse box to get it to close over the larger battery-to-fusebox wire. I do NOT recommend that you leave the cover off. You don’t want the mud and dirt getting in there.
- For more detailed instructions see our installation instructions page.
