Does anyone know what gauge wire the stock V6 (+) battery cable uses?

I recently had the stock battery go bad and corrode the positive cable terminal in two. Instead of replacing the entire cable, my plan is to crimp an eyelet (similar to how the negative cable is wired) on each positive wire and connect to the battery post with military terminals. To do this, I need to know the correct wire gauges of the cable. Does anyone know?

For 2019 both the 5.0 and 2.3 use AWG 2. It is likely (but not certain) the V6 is the same.

Nope. Its 1/0

I ended up using a hydraulic crimper on the wires to tighten them up. They are indeed 2 awg.. my mistake! Pic shows a 2awg connector next to the compressed conductors
