Positive battery cable causing random shutdowns while driving?

[LDM]

I've seen threads on the issue where the negative battery cable causes shut downs while driving but has anyone ever had the positive cable cause this issue?  I had my truck shut down 3 times while driving so I took it into the dealer to have that issue looked as at as well as have the oil cooler lines replaced due to them leaking.  While the oil lines were covered under the powertrain warranty, the positive cable was not (I have 39K on my truck so the general warranty is up) and they wanted $270 to replace it.  I told them I'll take care of it myself instead since you can buy the positive cable for about $40 from any place online.  So the part is on the way but I figured I would check to see if anyone else has had this correct an issue like this.  The cable runs from the positive terminal on the battery to the fuse box, not really difficult to replace at all.  Per the diagnosis, they claim that the cable is not able to transmit enough power at times, which is what is causing the shut down.  I believe I will ohm out the old cable and compare it to the new cable when I get it before putting it on.  They say the negative cable tested fine and the grounds are good, so I think I will leave that alone for now and only replace that if this does not fix the issue.

Well I replaced the cable today.  Both the old cable and the new cable had an ohm of .1, so there doesn't seem to be any difference there.  Guess I will just have to wait and see if that fixes the issue or not.  If not, I will probably replace the negative battery cable next just to be sure.
