Product Description

Ford – Gen 9/10 F-Series V8 7.3L Diesel 1997.5-1999 2/0 Kit #2273

Upgrade the electrical system on your late OBS / early Super Duty 7.3L diesel with this complete heavy-duty 2/0 battery cable kit. Built for 1997.5–1999 Ford F-250, F-250 HD, F-350, and F-Super Duty trucks with the 7.3L IDI / Power Stroke turbodiesel.

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
• 5 mountable + 5 standard zip ties

Starter Lug Options

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

Important: Early 1997 trucks used a 21-inch battery-to-start-relay wire. Those trucks need the 1987–1997 kit (#2258), not this one.

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 (#2275) instead.

Fitment: 1997.5, 1998, 1999 Ford F-250, F-250 HD, F-350, and F-Super Duty with 7.3L diesel.

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