ehall8702 Posted January 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 So I'm reading that this wire is 13mm ( slightly smaller than 1/2"). That's the wire itself not the insulation. 0000 awg wire is .46" and 000 is .42". That should mean 4/0 ring terminals should fit correctly. I wish I had a place that had those terminals in Stock so I could just put my hands on em and see what fits. SHCA wants like $2 a piece for their terminals, I need almost 36 terminals! Can get 4/0 on eBay for about 1.75 a piece and 3/0 for about a dollar a pop. 2009 Silverado 1500, 7.5" lift, 37x12.50r17s, Built Gen 4 5.3L ( 4.8l flat pistons, decked 243s, SS2 Cam, Pac 1218 springs, ported intake, 120mm TB, Long tubes, 3" duals HP tuner software tuned by me), 4l80e swapped and 4.56 gears.

will77530 Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Normal 2/0 lugs should fit if I remember right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehall8702 Posted January 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Sucks cause of course I jumped the gun and ordered 50 1/0 lugs when I ordered my wire, not too big a loss cause it fits this generic 0 gauge I already have and can use them on smaller installs for a few of my customers anyways. I'll gauge how close they are to fitting and order correct ones when I get my hands on my new wire. I think 2/0 is going to be they right size though since a 13mm box end wrench is just a bit bigger around than a 1/0 lug opening is.

ehall8702 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Well finally got.my wire, standard copper 1/0 lugs fit, probably because u lose a few strands when stripping the wire. I cheaped out and got a crimper that's like pliers instead.of the hydraulic one. I crimped one on and put it in a vise and pulled the wire like crazy, jerked it aroumd and tried pretty hard to pull the wire out of the lug and couldn't pull the wire out so it's safe to say they will hold up fine. I double crimped the lug, which I will do on all of them. Just info for anyone else who may wanna do the same in the future. I'm sure the hydraulic crimper does a better job, but I know the bolt cutter style crimper will do the job. 2009 Silverado 1500, 7.5" lift, 37x12.50r17s, Built Gen 4 5.3L ( 4.8l flat pistons, decked 243s, SS2 Cam, Pac 1218 springs, ported intake, 120mm TB, Long tubes, 3" duals HP tuner software tuned by me), 4l80e swapped and 4.56 gears.
