I installed a new AC Delco cable from amazon for $68.
I recommend changing it proactively.
I couldn't find an AC Delco on Amazon but I got one at CarID for $85 . The local Chevy dealer wants $120+ tax. I have jack-stands and a harbor freight jack with the cross-beam but watching some of the install videos I'm wondering if it's out of my league. It looks the time is taken up by getting into the cramped spaces to unbolt stuff
