Yea, I have seen extreme corrosion on old cables where you can see the obvious swell of the insulation. Other times you cannot see the swell but if cut open you see the corrosion all thru it. Old cables like that need replaced.
Help! Electrical diagnosis needed.

OK, I will add these cables on my shopping list. The headache is which one is the right one? Many choices for my truck, even VIN is given. Some of them can cost $100+.
Update, day 3 and day 4 are trouble free, runs like a champ again!

If you post the last 8 of your VIN, @915_Tahoe can get you the GM part # and you can cross reference from there.
When we are talking about cables we are talking about the battery cables. The rest of the ground cables can be had in the aftermarket at very inexpensive prices and replaced as needed. The main thing about them is to trace them and clean and tighten as needed. There are some threads here about replacement ground straps/cables as needed.
The battery cable sets can be a bit pricey for the AC Delco oe style but look at the time you got out of the original ones.

Alternatively, you could read up on and do the BIG 3 upgrade.
Ok, I'll bite. What is the BIG 3 upgrade? Or, has it been laid out here before and I forgot or missed it?

Looked thru that but all the pics are blurred and I notice it is from the Tahoe forum. I saw the list of what it is but pics would truly help. I get the different gauge cable as well.

There are about 9,413 threads here about it. Lol
Ok, I will find all but 3 of them.
