Product Description

Ford – Gen 7 F-250 / F-350 V8 6.9L Diesel 1983-1986 2/0 Kit #16642

Upgrade the electrical system on your early IDI diesel with this complete heavy-duty 2/0 battery cable kit. Built for 1983–1986 Ford F-250 HD and F-350 trucks with the 6.9L International Harvester IDI V8 diesel.

Factory cables on these trucks commonly suffer from corrosion, voltage drop, and hard starting. This kit replaces the main battery cables with larger 2/0 pure copper cable for stronger cranking power and improved reliability.

Kit Includes

• Positive 2/0 battery-to-battery cable
• Positive 2/0 battery-to-starter cable
• Right and left negative cables
• 2 positive + 2 negative military-style battery terminals
• 4 lock nuts
• 10-gauge, 72-inch start-relay-to-starter wire
• 2 red + 2 black military-style terminal covers
• 2 sets of terminal protectors
• Protective loom on the larger cables
• 5 mountable + 5 standard zip ties

Starter Lug Options

• 90° — stock starter
• Straight — aftermarket high-torque (Denso-style) starter

2/0 vs 3/0
2/0 is the standard upgrade for most applications. If you live in a cold climate, run a plow, or have hard-start issues, use the 3/0 hard-start kit (#19619) instead.

Fitment: 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986 Ford F-250 HD and F-350 with 6.9L IDI diesel.

Hand-built in the USA. A complete, durable replacement that restores solid starting and charging performance.
