      Nope. As long as it's all tight and clean it should be OK.  The loose aux post was more of an issue on the 1st Gen cars.  Those used a brass post and nuts that were very easily stripped out and could cause issues.

      Yeah I cant see a second one on the box and the top post appears to be fine. Its definitely zinc though, do you think a brass replacement would do anything? 
    • Black92GS
      That's the one. It looks like you took care of it with your wiring upgrade though. 
    • mikeytcarter
      Okay I will look into it! And are you referring to the post that is on the top of the under hood fuse box? The pics in the forum thats what it looks like. Not the positive battery terminal itself right?

      Check how hot the auxillary battery terminal gets...mine would get hot and cause voltage drops until I replaced it...previous owners thought it was just going through alternators. I had one of the zinc ones (and one with the bottom threads stripped so it was had a couple of washers for spacers and what appeared to be a Delco radio post nut as well) and replaced it with brass...common issue on the B bodies too, and it's the same process and part number for replacement.  Might not apply on a 2000, though...
