Default Help me out, where do I get this........

Its the bolt that goes into the positive side of the battery. It is all corroded and the car has no juice because it is eaten up. Anybody have a clue besides a gm dealer, because they are way to high.

Are you talking about the post that the positive cable terminal clamps onto, or something else?

Just replaced mine about three weeks ago. Two bolts for about 2.00. And a new batt, AAron is right. Mine was leaking and caused the bolt corrosion

My positive terminal post actually got bonded/melted to the stock battery and I broke off a chunk of the battery trying to break it loose. I have not had trouble with my Optima battery since I got it.

My battery started leaking acid on the positive connection. I did not catch it in time but I had a feeling it was going to break off. So I got a new battery (not from the dealer). I also got a connection for a temp repair. I then noticed my positive cable was corroted. Had to go to the dealer to buy a new cable, which cost as much as the battery. That sucks!!!
