Thank you so much for this video. I’m trying to learn how to take care of my truck myself instead of taking it to people and spending an arm and a leg. This helped so much!!!!
Getting ready to change negative terminal on mine. Check gauges light was coming on and thought original alternator was bad but somehow tested good. Looking around and found split in back of the terminal. Alot cheaper than the alternator 👍
Look at the terminal closely. I didn't even notice small split on it. Alternator was good and it definitely was the $8 new terminal as the fix. Back to 14.2 volts charging not 9vs 😎
A search on Amazon for heat shrink tube kit should provide some solid options.. I'm not sure which size I used offhand, those kits have several different sizes. Sorry I don't have more info for you.
@@ShareXP yeah the battery light Illuminating is intermittent so I think it’s possible that the terminal is just bad and hopefully the alternator is okay.

Gotta love some savings.

Very nice, cheap fixes are the best.

I love that little meme you put in at 4:05 😂
Hah, thanks! Hnnnng!
Thanks alot foe this video, the most thorough one i have seen!
Is it possible to solder the cracked terminal connector with a soldering pen?
That's an idea worth trying. Let me know how it goes.
Is there an Amazon link to those heat shrinking tubes? Also, what's the diameter of those tubes?

Could this be a reason why my battery light stays on? I’m hoping it’s not my alternator
Possibly so, it's a cheaper fix than an alternator.

Will this process work the same on a 98 or is it a little different ?
Can a crack on a terminal cause slugish starts sometimes?
Yes it can.
@@ShareXP what are the possible symptoms? I noticed a little crack on the positive terminal
@ShareXP my car sometimes has slugish starts im thinking this is the cause
Could a cracked negative terminal cause the car not to charge?
I believe a breakage on either side could cause a charging issue. Best to get it fixed.
