Alternator-Battery Cable Issue

[sullivas]

Before my extended warranty runs out I'd like to make sure the alternator cable is not one of the faulty ones.

Was there a TSB on the matter? I have searched but can't find one. If there is one, does anyone know the number? Thanks.

Thanks but that one discusses the negative cable connection necessary tightness to the body upon delivery

to the customer.

I just realized that you expect to get the new cables under warranty, which you will not unless the dealer does it under goodwill. There is a TSB which tells the dealer that the cables have been updated with a new part number to correct the earlier problems, but it is a TSB, not a recall, so it is informational only. Start a conversation with your service manager, but I'm pretty he may tell you that unless they can confirm an existing problem, they will not replace the cables for free...............
