I really liked the JBA 8MM PowerCables on my crew cab. I just found out they make a set of them in 9MM and blue in color, that I think I am going to buy.

Other than that I would probably go the Taylor 409's

I have Taylors and I like them... just be careful with them because I know of a couple people who have pulled them apart when taking them off... use plenty of electric grease when you put them on....

...that would be me...when you are pulling them off, twist in circles then pull ...hence im on my second set but i love them... sometimes they come longer than others and if you have longtubes you might want to invest in some plug boots, fiberglass, they hold constant protection for 1200*...they are like 3$ each...pic.

I had a pair tear up on me as well and they were greased and pull of carefully. 6 of the 8 came out with 4 foot wires hanging from them. I went back to AC Delcos.

I called Taylor when I was buying mine. They said save your money and buy the Thunder 8.2. He said that the only difference between 10.4 and the 8.2 is the diameter. You are paying just for the look of a bigger wire. They preform the same. (Was his quote)
