Product Description

Ford – Gen 7 F-250 HD / F-350 V8 6.9L Diesel 1983-1986 3/0 Hard Start Kit #19619

Upgrade the electrical system on your early IDI diesel with this complete heavy-duty hard-start 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 uses a 3/0 battery-to-starter cable for maximum cranking current—the preferred choice for cold climates, snowplows, and heavy-use trucks.

Kit Includes

• Positive 2/0 battery-to-battery cable
• Positive 3/0 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 protector washers
• Protective loom
• 5 mountable + 5 standard zip ties

Starter Lug Options

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

Why 3/0?
2/0 (#16642) is the standard upgrade. This 3/0 hard-start kit puts a larger cable on the starter circuit for lower voltage drop and stronger cranking in extreme conditions.

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.
