Hey guys, I just wanted to say thanks for the help with my No start issue. I finally believe that that was the cause. I cleaned the post and replaced the terminals and it started right up for me, so hopefully this solves it for good.
However, when I cut back on the positive cables to get some fresh copper I found that both wires were HIGHLY corroded! So as a temp fix I sanded them down to get it clean and then hooked them up. My question this time around is, Is it a tough job to replace both positive cables? I fear that the entire wire is probably corroded as well. I see the one going to the fuse box and it doesn't look to tough, but the other looks like it leads to the engine? I'm wondering if it is a job You guys think I should take care of myself or just bring it in.

do it yourself. Any auto parts store will sell battery cable lengths next to the terminals. Just make sure it's #4 AWG or bigger

Have the noise back in my rear drums. It will not go away. It squeeks like Hell when I first start going and when I apply the brakes. I've had it into les schwab twice cause of it. We've grinded down the metal on the brake pads cause we could see wear on them. We can't figure out why its doing it. Only thing it may be is to big of pads or what? It's really starting to get on my last nerve, I'm ready to stop this jeep habit and sell it.
